In this video, I will cover how to convert python file (.py) into .exe.

PyInstaller is a popular tool for converting Python applications into standalone executables,
making it easier to distribute and run your applications on different systems without requiring a Python interpreter.

Procedure:
1. Install PyInstaller:
pip install pyinstaller
2. Create the executable:
Syntax: pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --icon=myicon.ico app.py
Example: pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --icon=switch.ico COMMANDS_RUNNER.py

--onefile: Packages everything into a single executable file.
--noconsole: Ensures no console window appears when running the executable (useful for GUI applications).
--icon=myicon.ico: Adds a custom icon to the executable.

3. Locate your executable in the dist directory:
dist/app.exe
