# recipe for building an exe with nuitka (extreme jank edition)
NOTE: copyparty runs SLOWER when compiled with nuitka;
just use copyparty-sfx.py and/or pyinstaller instead
( the sfx and the pyinstaller EXEs are equally fast if you
have the latest jinja2 installed, but the older jinja that
comes bundled with the sfx is slightly faster yet )
roughly, copyparty-sfx.py is 6% faster than copyparty.exe
(win10-pyinstaller), and copyparty.exe is 10% faster than
nuitka, making copyparty-sfx.py 17% faster than nuitka
NOTE: every time a nuitka-compiled copyparty.exe is launched,
it will show the windows firewall prompt since nuitka will
pick a new unique location in %TEMP% to unpack an exe into,
unlike pyinstaller which doesn't fork itself on startup...
might be fixable by configuring nuitka differently, idk
NOTE: nuitka EXEs are larger than pyinstaller ones;
a minimal nuitka build of just the sfx (with its bundled
dependencies) was already the same size as the pyinstaller
copyparty.exe which also includes Mutagen and Pillow
NOTE: nuitka takes a lot longer to build than pyinstaller
(due to actual compilation of course, but still)
NOTE: binaries built with nuitka cannot run on windows7,
even when compiled with python 3.6 on windows 7 itself
NOTE: `--python-flags=-m` is the magic sauce to
correctly compile `from .util import Daemon`
(which otherwise only explodes at runtime)
NOTE: `--deployment` doesn't seem to affect performance
