Ask HN: Thoughts on Python/Pyinstaller for Desktop Backend Binary?

2•dillondesilva•1d ago
Hey everyone,

I've been exploring some approaches for putting together a backend binary to accompany a Tauri desktop app for non-developers. It's for an AI project so initially I was thinking about using Python. However, I read that this isn't a particularly great method as Pyinstaller has slow start up times due to packaging the Python runtime within it and it can only produce target binaries for the system it is run on (i.e. if you run pyinstaller on windows, you can only get windows binaries).

Has anyone worked around these issues? For now, I'm thinking perhaps opting for using Golang might be better since I can get static binaries but it would be super sweet if I can tap into some of the cool libraries in Python.

Open to new ideas as well! Many thanks :)
