How to Convert a Streamlit App to an .EXE Executable

Yuichiro (a.k.a whitphx, also the creator of streamlit-webrtc) is a Streamlit Creator who singlehandedly implemented stlite, a port of Streamlit to WebAssembly powered by Pyodide/ This enables us to use Streamlit in a web page without installing Python locally.
With this + Electron, it is possible to build a Desktop Executable out of this Pyodide-powered project! This currently makes it the easiest way, literally 3 commands, to bundle a Streamlit project into an executable to send to your friends and family!

🪶 Hello DataFans! This month has been brutal, and next is a meetup I need to record and edit, and then I'll be going to PyconFR in Bordeaux! May I meet you there?

👍 On this channel, we love building a lot of small yet smart Streamlit apps to improve our Python chops, and recall our stories around Data Science and Content Creation. Like & Subscribe if you would like to see more videos!

Hey y’all! One fix that made the altair issue work for me was —> running the following in the powershell visual studio code command (windows):
~> npm outdated
And then
~> npm update

Please note, there’s no need for the altair<5 in the requirements.txt file
Hope it helps!

Brother, I just discovered your channel on YT, I'm working on a streamlit project and you're helping me like you can't imagine, thank you so much.

Top notch content, I always wanted to make one on this topic. But this is quite amazingly done video!

[AhmetAnilDindar]

I've created my very first stlite program. Highly appreciated because my graduate students will love it.

[Jay-jeen]

Tired this out my self a few weeks back and it really is a great step forward!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t persist a local database due to Electron security restrictions. I also tried MongoDB and Firebase for cloud storage, but I believe the imports included C-extensions, preventing it from working.

Great video by the way 👍🏼

Love your videos. You're a streamlit wizard, and a fun wizard on top of that. Keep up the good work.

[robel_asefa]

You look good, bro! This is the third video I’m seeing and couldn’t stop🤗

Streamlit needs to work harder to simplify this. what a nightmare.

Hello, I'm getting just a blank canvas when I use the servewindows

[neno]

very insightful and fun to watch, enjoying your content, Fanilo!

The finale was so exciting that I need to recover first. Don't you want to be a Marvel screenwriter?

[smiley]

can i say i love you??? cause damn dude, your explanation is perfect!!!!

[gugaucb]

I like your videos. Very funny, simple and easy to understand all things. Keep going.

Nice more reasons to use streamlit 🥳🥳🔥

[ege.the.engineer]

Unfortunately this doesn't work if your code contains modules/packages that written other languages than python, and/or if it can't find .whl package of that module
my issue was the first one. I have bunch of module that written in other languages such as c++ etc on my python-streamlit project. Any suggestion for this will be appreciated.

Could you please make a slow speaking and step by step detailed description guide video for noobs like me.

Hello, When executing the command 'run npm servewindows, the error is returned: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ssl'". Does anyone know the solution?

[aleksandardimovski]

Hi and thanks for the useful implementation. Following your procedure, at the point where I run the command "npm run serve" I obtain an ENOENT error saying that a file is missing in the stlite-manifest.json. Any idea what could be the issue?

[maxlgemeinderat]

Great video!
However it is not working for me (stlite-manifest.json is missing).
Do you know if the steps are the same if large files are in the repo? I built an LLM chatbot (locally downloaded open-source model). Would be cool to see a wallthrough!

[greciaguerrero]

Hey, Fanilo, great video!! It worked for me as long as the packages are supported by Pyodide. Unfortunately, in my case Pyodbc isn't :( I'm looking for another way to generate an exe Any ideas are very welcome :D
