Create Linux installers or binaries for each supported platform for Kivy
Is there a tool that creates installers from the source code of a Kivy game for all supported platforms with the click of a button?
- Linux:
.deb
,.rpm
or only portable.zip
file that contains the.sh
script - Windows:
.exe
(installer or portable executable) - Mac:
.app
(installer or portable executable) - and possibly Android and iOS
If not, is it possible?

Anything is possible, but I'm not sure what people are recommending right now - the Kivy website has instructions for pyinstaller (especially on Windows, as I recall, but it works well on other platforms as well), with the disadvantage that pyinstaller now only supports python2. You can also use other tools, I've seen some actions, for example. nuitka, but I don't know the current state. Your best bet is to ask on the kivy or irc mailing list, where some people using these tools are likely to comment.
I haven't seen anyone do .deb or .rpm. I'm sure it shouldn't be too hard, although you will need to do a few things to get it to work, as you are most likely faking new soil.
Android and iOS are only covered by kivy's own build tools. They work great on Android, I cannot comment on iOS.
