playwright-to-exe

This tool automates the setup process to transform Python files that use the Playwright library into a onefile executable for Windows (.exe). It creates a virtual environment, installs dependencies from requirements.txt, packages Chromium with your application, configures the Playwright PATH for executable conversion, and initiates auto-py-to-exe.

How to Use

Follow these steps to easily convert your Python scripts into standalone executables:

Step 1: Preparation

Right-click here and select "Save link as..." to download the requirements.txt file. Choose the empty directory where you wish to save it.

Step 2: Configure Dependencies

1. Edit the requirements.txt file by adding any additional libraries your project requires under section "2";
2. Save the file after editing.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove section "1".

Step 3: Open PowerShell

Navigate to the empty folder where you saved the requirements.txt file in step "1" and open PowerShell in that location.

Step 4: Run the Installation Command

Paste the following command into PowerShell and execute it:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex "&{$((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://github.com/raw/A-Assuncao/playwright-to-exe/main/setup_install_venv.ps1'))}"
