Great tutorial @martin I wonder about the installer files sizes. Few month ago I've played a bit on Mac with these and as Python 3 is not installed by default on Mac the resulting package with all necessary dependencies was almost as big asi Electron installer. Can you please tell me the file sizes for stand alone installers (Win, Mac) you achieved with this?

To compare them and make an idea you can go to the Example section where there are different examples with downloadable installers.
