Build Application to Executable

For production release, we need to build the src code into an executable (exe on Windows). Usually pyinstaller can be used for this. We should build a batch, or possibly a shell or Python script for running the build.

Notes:

• None of us have a Mac so we'll probably just be building for Windows.
• The project contains various config files. These should not be built into the executable, and instead should be user-customisable. We may need to revisit how paths are accessed in compiled mode. It is possible to determine if in compiled mode via the following function.

def is_compiled() -> bool:
    return getattr(sys, 'frozen', False)

• We should build all of
  • The full app
  • Eye tracking only
  • Drone Control only
  • Voice Control only

into 4 separate exes.
