[PyQt] deploying PyQt5 app for the first time using pyqtdeploy

[umbertofilippo at tiscali.it]

  Thank you Phil for your answer

Anyway, I ended up using Pyinstaller,
which seems much simpler to my non-expert eyes.
I was able to create an
executable for windows through it quite easily. However, I am facing
another problem now (viewing JPG images in my applications).
I posted
another mail to this regard (see also "pyinstaller and images
[4]").

Thanks for your support!

app deployment. I just finished my first app with PyQt5: it's a basic
Memory game, made of one python script, a folder of images and a folder
of sound effects. The app is working fine (although something might
still be missing), and I now would like to deploy it using pyqtdeploy. I
am currently working on Ubuntu 16.04, in an python virtual environment
(created through conda), where I installed PyQt5 and pyqtdeploy. I'd
like to be able to set up a deployment framework so that I would be able
to deploy to different platforms (desktop and mobile) the easiest way. I
am beginning with Windows (as most of my friends have it). However, as I
am completlely new to this kind of stuff, I am finding difficult to
follow the tutorial at
http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/pyqtdeploy/tutorial.html [1]. First of
all, I downloaded and installed pyqtdeploy to my virtual env succesfully
(using pip after activating the conda env) and I am able to run the GUI.
There are many things I miss anyway. For example: how do I add my
folders to my project (images and sounds)?

You can access them as files so long as you use the PyQt file handling
classes (rather than the Python ones). See
http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/pyqtdeploy/pyrcc.html [3]
