How to bundle python flask application into a standalone executable.

I am developing a number of python application for my internal users. We have a framework developed using a c# and wpf which every user have on their system. Now for the users to access the python application from that framework one option was to ask each users to install python in there system which is not possible. After some research in Google I came across the python freezer libraries



I was able to bundle or freeze a tensor flow , django Matlab application and host the same in our framework without asking user to install python by using pyinstaller. But for flask application I cannot find a proper freezer.



Is there any freezer for flask application. My requirements is to create a standalone exe for my flask application . I have both python 3 and python 2 in my build sever.

  • Why have you done this as a web app at all, if every user needs to install it on their system?

  • Currently we are not using docker and cloud in our firm . And we have lot of users which develope their own application by hiring external developers. But once they develop their app , to get it to production they have to wait for months. So we need to support all type of python, .net , spa etc.. app in our framework .. it's like I need to be ready for all type of application. That's why. We don't have control on what type of application the users will give us. And this will be a temporary solution.
