[TIP] Should pytest work with stand-alone python executables built with PyInstaller and similar?

[Bruno Oliveira]

Hi Tony,

> Since the tests I've written for my application work when the application
Is a .py file, should these tests also work when my application is bundled
into a single-file executable, built with PyInstaller, or similar bundling
tool?

I have the exact same requirement at work. Please see these docs for a
solution:

https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/example/simple.html?highlight=freeze_includes#freezing-pytest

Hope that helps,
Bruno.
