Compact portablemc.exe

[Siqust]

I'm trying to create launcher to play with my friends. They probably don't have python (and portablemc so i need somehow launch portablemc from files they can download to any folder) I have tried to convert portablemc to exe (with pyinstaller) (combined forge's init.py and core init.py). But it doesn't see forge addon.
Also it would be great if you can show me documentation use of portablemc in python(not in cmd)

Hi, honestly I don't know how pyinstaller works, could you specify all packages to include in the executable? If so you can include portablemc and portablemc-forge and PMC should be able to discover the add-on, if not it's a bug in the launcher...

For the API documentation, it's not going to be upgraded for the current version (v3) but upcoming v4 is going to have a new updated documentation, so one thing I would suggest is to wait for v4 pre-release (planned for this weekend). In bonus, forge/fabric support will be included in the core package!

Also, thank you for considering PortableMC for your launcher!

Thank you for your response. I thought pyinstaller includes main file and everything that it imports. For example if main file imports some module, pyinstaller combines module and main file. But I tried to import portable-mc forge into core file and it output error. Anyways thank you for information about fourth version, I will wait for it.
