Package the main application into an executable binary

[gridhead]

Make sure that you use PyInstaller and that it is compliant to Python 3.8 and above.

Would you be willing to pick this up, @khallnayak?

@t0xic0der i would like to help with this. Though it my first time. I am reading the documentation of pyinstaller.

[Sameer-Mann]

@t0xic0der i tried to make an executable for the app but it requires me sign the code manually on mac pyinstaller/pyinstaller#4934 and even if i did that the binary file would not be distributable.

So i think using pyinstaller to distribute a mac os package is not feasible correct me if i am wrong.

Sure, @Sameer-Mann. I am assigning this issue to you.

Feel free to take your time and learn about PyInstaller.

[gridhead]

Yes. The issue seems to be troubling especially macOS users. Could you try making an executable on a GNU/Linux system?

[Sameer-Mann]

ok I will try to make it work for gnu/linux systems

@t0xic0der i made the package but it gives this when i try to run it.

After i export those two variables it works fine though.
The encoding which the script is using and which it should use are not the same.
Could u tell me how to add encoding based on the environment.
I tried reading https://click.palletsprojects.com/python3/ but could not figure out how to do it.

[gridhead]

The code environment for the project is UTF-8 compliant only and does not support ASCII, unless added a exporting variable.

But then again, the export is restricted to your programming environment only and should not affect the repository.
