Using the Command Line

Set build options on the command line.


You can use the command line to set build options.

Format

Setting a value on the command line takes the form Option Value where Option is the build option and Value is its value. Take care to enclose values containing white space with quotes.

Example

The following commands will all set my_app.py to have the filename 'myapp', the app name 'My App', and the version '0.1.0'.

pydeploy -f myapp -a 'My App' --appv 0.1.0 my_app.py
pydeploy my_app.py -f myapp -a 'My App' --appv 0.1.0
pydeploy -f myapp my_app.py -a 'My App' --appv 0.1.0

As you can see, the ordering of the arguments doesn't matter with a notable exception: when passing arguments to PyInstaller.
