Hi @robertshuai. Once I made the change in #35 from relative to absolute imports, these steps worked for me on a Windows host.

pip install -U pyinstaller
git clone https://github.com/joshschmelzle/lswifi.git
cd lswifi
python -m PyInstaller --name "lswifi" ".\lswifi\__main__.py"

These steps resulted in the creation of build and dist folders.

Inside .\lswifi\dist\lswifi I found lswifi.exe and some .dll files:

Running pyinstaller with --oneline option may be a better option for portability:

 python -m PyInstaller --onefile --name "lswifi" ".\lswifi\__main__.py"

Produces one file in the dist folder:

Thank you very much. I packed it. I love your tool.

You're welcome! Also, I just realized I should have used the --onefile flag in my example for better portability.

python -m PyInstaller --onefile --name "lswifi" ".\lswifi\__main__.py".
