So, I've created a build for my Kivy app with PyInstaller that stores all of its dependencies into a folder in /dist/ and that can be executed from within that folder. This is about as far as Kivy's Windows packaging tutorial goes.
The most promising tutorial that I could find using PyInstaller alone was this one. However, none of the attempted python -m PyInstaller app_name.spec rebuilds produced anything that compressed everything down to one file. Also, the --onefile packages were over 200MB in size, when all of the code and dependencies (including another EXE) aren't anywhere near that size altogether, on top of not running.
Is there a straightforward way of using, say, .NET Core or some other program to compress the PyInstaller's tutorial-produced package and all of its dependencies into a single executable (.EXE)? I know of NSIS, but my goal is not to have the source code sit visibly anywhere on end users' devices.
