You definitely shouldn't require users to install pipx and double definitely not Python. Pipx is good for dev tooling like tox et al, though.

Did you ever try pyinstaller?

I've had some success with pyinstaller but recently have been getting inconsistent results with an application I've written that uses pyside6. It was working for a while but all of a sudden the pyinstaller exe is giving an error that doesn't happen when I run the same code using python.

Happened right before I had to go to the hospital (where I currently am) so I haven't had a chance to dig into it. But if this works reliably I'd be happy to switch.

Can you please let me know how your experience is? Feel free to even open an issue on the repo!

Pyinstaller doesn't work with python 3.12.0. You need to use python 3.12.1. https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/7992
