Its kinda tedious! I do not have a major purpose at all, its just that I came across an app called bat2exe and i tried it on one of my binaries, it worked but not to my satisfaction because I could not move the created package to other computers, the package failed to work requiring the original file the package was create from so I wondered if PyInstaller could do a better job.
