pip3 install pyinstaller

pyinstaller --onefile yourscript.py

You should get one file (named “yourscript”) that can be distributed to other Linux distros and run simply with

./yourscript

If there are additional files needed by the script for example settings.py you need to add this e.g.

pyinstaller --onefile yourscript.py --add-data 'settings.py:.' --add-data 'secondfile.txt:.'

Paths to these additional files are relative to yourscript.py.

Pass –noconsole option to pyinstaller

pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole yourscript.py
