Hi rhymes, thanks on the suggestion about nuitka. I haven't tried that one yet, I did try py2exe, and I can't remember what went wrong with that one. Is always a fine line between spending way too much trying to figure out how to compile a python script vs actually writing code to fix a problem. For this I wish it was as easy as Java, can get a jar file really quick.

Progress bars are not required for most quick tasks, in the cli article image, I actually need to add time elapsed now that I think about it, but the progress bar is a nice visual feedback on how fast things are moving along nevertheless. Or not moving along, I've witnessed that too. : ) Thanks for the feedback!

ahahha I hear you, well, see if you can get it work within a limited time frame, otherwise bye bye, until you'll need features from the more recent Python versions at least.

Isn't a jar the same thing as a wheel package in Python? A zip with a manifest basically.
