Hi, We have an app written in Python/Django which we are deploying locally. For this sake we have create a EXE file (using pyInstaller) to run on Windows. Now, we are looking for some help to create a similar standalone application to be run on MacOs. What exactly is required? - We would like to get a working standalone Mac application compiled from our Python/Django code . The compilation should presumably by done using py2app, but there are also other tools available (like pyInstaller), - Additionally, we need to obtain the setup file used to generate this Mac app such that we can recreate this process in the future, - Some description how you did it would be great too :) What is already available? - Our working project is stored in Bitbucket, you can pull from the repo and get is up and running using the attached readme file. - In the repo you will also find a description and the actual file used to obtain the EXE for Windows (that can give you a hint how to achieve a similar thing for Mac) Some technical details: - The project is written in Django (a Python web framework) and you need to be familiar with it to get this job done. We are using sqlite3 as a database, - Certainly we are using external Django apps - those need to be linked to the Mac app in the compliation process as well to make the app working, - The Django app uses also Angular.js with Django Rest Framework - would be good if you understand this part as well to know which libraries/apps to link as well. - We use Python CherryPy server to serve the files locally on deployment machines. What is required from you to be successful in this taks? - Python and Django knowledge, - CherryPy server - would be good to know the basics, - py2app or pyInstaller knowledge or commitment to learn, - would be good if you understand Angular.js and Django Rest framework (but only to the extent to know how to link the neccessary files) - you need to know how to use GIT, virtualenv, - you need to be familiar with MacOs, have a Mac yourself :) About me: - I'm willing to help so will be there to assist if you have some questions :) - I did the EXE version with pyInstaller so I'm likely to be able to help with similar questions, - I'm easy to talk to :) and structured and organized at the same time, Anything else? - this process may require a lot of trying and failing to make sure you include all the needed libraries if you don't know py2app yet, - please indicate if you had already some expierence with py2app or pyInstaller :)

Hey, I went through the description and found the project interesting. I understand you want to convert an existing python-django web app to a standalone mac app. I have worked extensively with python, worked on a couple of py2app apps, own a macOS, and have basic understanding of django and angular. I have a few questions, mainly what is the expected launch behaviour of the .app file? As it is a django+angular project, do you expect it to just start the server in the background or are you looking to provide the web interface inside the same? Feel free to ping me so that we can discuss this over chat.

I have worked with web projects since 2007 with Java, PHP and Python. In the last two years 90% of the applications and rest API's, using Django Rest Framework, I built were written using Python/Django and in some specific cases in Flask. Although I have not worked with py2app before, I have a good background in explore new tools that I have acquired during my last year as configuration manager in my last job. I think, I can accomplish this work for you with success, and of course, document the process, so you can repeat it in the future.
