<https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/10684|#10684 add support for binary build with pyinstaller + staticx>
Issue created by <https://github.com/adabuleanu|adabuleanu>
The current `binary` goal uses PEX to build a python binary. Unfortunately PEX does not include a python interpreter in the binary. An alternative solution is to build a binary using <https://www.pyinstaller.org/|pyinstaller> (which bundles the python interpreter in the binary) and <https://github.com/JonathonReinhart/staticx|staticx> (which makes the binary platform independent). After a discussion on the slack channel with the pants team I have opened this ticket.

Possible cli

• update existing `binary` goal

```
./pants binary --type=pyinstaller &lt;binary-target&gt;
```

• new goal

```
./pants pyinstaller-bin &lt;binary-target&gt;
```

If this cannot be implemented by you team, can you point me into the direction for me to start working on this?

Thanks  
Adrian
