Py2Bin For Mac

Py2Bin is a minimalist Mac OS X application that can quickly compile a Python script and convert it to an executable binary file. The binary format is preferable because you can launch it with a simple double click, instead of typing the appropriate commands in the Terminal app.

The Py2Bin software package, besides the application, also includes a Python package installer that can be used to quickly deploy the Python programming language interpreter to your Mac computer. All you have to do next is drag and drop the Py2Bin app to your Applications directory.

Upon launch, Py2Bin automatically prompts you for the .py file you want to start processing. If you don’t want to navigate to the source file location via the Finder menu, you can simply drag and drop the .py file on top of the Py2Bin main window.

Py2Bin will automatically start processing the script file, and you get to monitor the procedure by reading the log displayed in the app’s main window in real time. Note that Py2Bin will output the newly created binary file in the same folder as the source Python script.

The latest Py2Bin version comes with a function that helps you update the Python path with minimal effort if you decide to use a different Python distribution. Just make the appropriate selection via the Py2Bin Edition menu and the app takes care of the rest.

If you are dealing with Python scripts and you do not want to have to go though the command line to launch them, you can use the Py2Bin app to quickly convert them to executable binaries. The utility comes with a very user friendly workflow, and is easy to handle even by unexperienced users.

The Py2Bin developer also provides a video demonstration that you can watch on YouTube, but you can also learn more by accessing the project's Facebook page or Google+ collection. You can also contact the developer by email.
