Convert Python Code To Executable For Linux

Question

this my code

#!/usr/bin/ python
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk(className="My first GUI") # creates root window
# all components of thw window will come here
root.mainloop() # To keep GUI window running

it just generates a window. i want to convert it into an executable file for Linux based machines i.e(when clicked on the executable file it should display the window directly). i don't want the user to run it from terminal.

Answer 1

Just put this in the first line of your script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Make the file executable with

`chmod +x GuiFile.`py

Execute with

./GuiFile.py

for Windows, you can use py2exe or pyinstaller

Answer 2

The first line needs to be:

#!/usr/bin/python

(no space before 'python'), and the script needs to be marked executable (chmod +x scriptname)

• 3gth: i get what you are saying is to make the script executable and then run it. i can do that but what i need is to convert the file into a format where anyone can click on it and it will execute the code in it.
• Martin Bonner supports Monica: If you (double-)click on a script the system will execute the code in the script. Do you want to someone else to be able to run the script without installing Python?
• 3gth: python will be already available in another machine. just make the file executable is what i need. i don't want the other user to make it executable or run it from terminal
