In this last devlog I am showing how I turned my python project into a file that anyone can download and use on there Mac device without fiddling with python files and github repos. And boy was that a adventure. Firstly I know quite a bit about building python projects and everthing to do with building projects inside VSCode. I know ABSOLUTLY NOTHING about turning that into something others can easily use. The battles I faught with learning about file paths and directories and temp folders and the whole bajazz was enough to make Roman warriors run. But nontheless with Claude as my sensie and enough caffine to send a todler to the moon I was able to figure it out and Im going to outline some of it now.

Firstly this project is a multi script project where you run each stage (Alpha - Epsilon) and check the output for each and move onto the next stage and so on jsut becuase thats how I liked it best. Now to comuncate information through differtent scripts I used JSON’s. But when packaging a python project you must make it so that insted of just writting with open (, …) the filename cant just be a name, it has to be a whole path. Learning that fact and how to implement that was a strugle.

Then came the strugle of makeing a master script. At the begining of my master script I was importing each python file for each stage. That mixed with not having a run function in each stage and using if “name” == “main” to run all the main code for each stage resulted in a kathuple amount of erros and problems such as scripts not running, multiple windows being created, and more.

The last bug problem was how to package everything together. I tried command after command with nothing working, only to then learn of how I must move all my files into the Dict folder created when packaging in order to make suer everything works properly. Now I just have to put this in a github release and everyone can use the executable file I have made.
