You could implement "scoop install datasette" or "choco install datasette". Way easier than creating an installer, for example this is how you create a Scoop manifest: https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/wiki/Creating-an-app-ma...


It's a common misconception that PyInstaller is something that creates an installer.

Scoop and Chocolatey are nice, but you'll still need something like PyInstaller to bundle your Python app into something that can be installed by scoop or choco. (source: building ActivityWatch [1] which is bundled by PyInstaller and available on Chocolatey)

That's really useful, thanks.
