How to make an 'exe' from Python code with Linux only package | pdftotext & Conda example | Poppler

How to convert a Python “.py” script to “exe”

Issues when compiling Python code written on Linux PC for Windows:

❌ Code written in Linux using “pdftotext” which only runs on Windows with “Conda” (due to poppler)
❌ Conda wouldn't install on Windows 10
❌ Compile on Windows 10 and “Threat Defender” removes it

Step 1 : Install conda (and make sure you update it!)

- conda update --all
- conda install -c conda-forge poppler

Step 2 : Import packages
Step 3: Compile

Watch video and see how to do it successfully.

Note: Installing WSL will not help this problem, so stick with Conda even if it seems like a lot of work!

Thank u for this video. I used pip package manager instead of conda and py2exe to make exe and it worked fine. And there is no need to disable antivirus because executable generated using py2exe are not detected as threat.
