I have a data set and would like to write a python code which analyses these data and represents the diagrams (mostly histograms) in a GUI (like glueviz). In the final step, I would like to combine the GUI and the code into an executable file in a folder so that the final user does not need any python.

In case of R I would use shiny for such a problem, however one cannot publish/deploy shiny and R easily to one executable stand alone file!

In case of python, which GUI can I use? The GUI may look like shiny or glueviz. At the end of day, how can I make an executable file (in Windows) from the calculation engine and the GUI which runs locally?
GUI + calculation engine (python) -> one_file.exe

Please Note, I know the plot packages in python. There are couple of GUI packages in python too. However, the question is

Is there any GUI (with the possibility to show graphics )+calculation engine (python), both integrated in each other?

    *Questions asking us to recommend or find a software tool or library are off topic for Stackoverflow.* If you search, there's plenty of resources for making a Python exe. If you just want to plot stuff, matplotlib or pyplot would be a good start – OneCricketeer Mar 23 '18 at 13:25
  • @cricket_007 you did not even understand the question! – maniA Mar 23 '18 at 14:36
  • What did I not understand? I said `matplotlib` or `pyplot`.... If anything its a duplicate of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2136837/process-to-convert-simple-python-script-into-windows-executable That question you linked to is 3 years old. The guidelines for StackOverflow posts change over the years – OneCricketeer Mar 23 '18 at 16:19
  • That's *not* an *"Explonation"*, it's just an assertion. Be specific about how the existing resources fail to answer your precise question. – jonrsharpe Mar 23 '18 at 16:42
  • @cricket_007 the programs you suggested I know but I am not looking for a plot package even not for a GUI standalone, I am looking for a package similar to shiny with a local publishing possibility. – maniA Mar 24 '18 at 08:54
  • @jonrsharpe you may be right and I am sorry about that however, I wish that one reads the question more precisely. – maniA Mar 24 '18 at 08:56
  • And I did read the question! "Is there any GUI/tool that does X" is a [recommendation question](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/254393). You linked to the Python wiki for GUI programming, so go read to make a GUI. I linked you to make a EXE. It's possible to combine them. I have no idea what Shiny provides, other than a web app, not an exe. And if you wanted a web app with to show charts, then you'd typically use Javascript to draw on a webpage, which is hosted by a Python web server, not a GUI tool – OneCricketeer Mar 24 '18 at 12:54
  • @cricket_007 thanks, you are actually right with the java script which is hosted by a Python web server and I thought at the beginning of a html as a "GUI". But I do not know how :(. I need just a simple example – maniA Mar 24 '18 at 21:05

You might want to look into Rinno package found on CRAN.

Information about getting started is found on the author's webpage, in brief:

install.packages("RInno")
require(RInno)
RInno::install_inno()

We put a simple example Shiny app in the package:

example_app(app_dir = "app")

A minimal installation can be created using the package defaults with two lines of code:

create_app(app_name = "myapp", app_dir = "app")
compile_iss()

Now, there should be a new directory, app/RInno_installer, in your working directory. Double-click the .exe to see how that example app can be installed on your computer.
