Packaging

Package Python code with PyInstaller

• Run anaconda prompt, activate the conda environment (if you haven't done that already)
• Navigate to 'src' folder
• Run: python -m PyInstaller pysoda/api.py --distpath pysodadist

Optional

• Edit spec file as needed (e.g. exclude PyQt5, tkinter). Especially, adding the following may be required on Windows: hiddenimports=['pkg_resources.py2_warn']
• To generate exe, Run: python -m PyInstaller --noconsole api.spec --distpath pysodadist
• for electron packaging, build and pysoda folder (with the .py files) could be deleted or ignored

You can then delete the "build" folder an the "api.spec" file generated by PyInstaller before you move on since they are not necessary for packaging and distributing the app.
