[FIXED] Do I need to package a MySQL server/client with my pyinstaller app?

Issue

I built an application using pyside and sqlalchemy. I package this application with Pyinstaller. It works great with the sqlite database engine, but I am starting to deploy it now and want to do so with the mysql engine. Do I need to package a Mysql server/client with the application? And if so can I do so with Pysinstaller?

Solution

No, Pyinstaller or py2exe are only use for python scripts, that just converts your python script and their's 3rd-party packages into stand-alone executable program without requiring a python installation.

If you want to install other softwares like MySQL, then you need to do that with software installation programs.

Here is a list of them.
