-|project| Deployment
-====================
-
-Deploying or freezing an application is a crucial part of many Python projects.
-Most large projects are not based on a single Python file, so
-the distribution of these applications becomes more difficult.
-
-Here are a few distribution options that you could use:
- 1. Sending a normal zip-file with the application's content.
- 2. Building a proper `Python package (wheel) <https://packaging.python.org/>`_.
- 3. Freezing the application into a single binary file or a directory.
-
-If you choose the **third** option, consider using one of these tools:
- * `fbs`_
- * `PyInstaller`_
- * `cx_Freeze`_
- * `py2exe`_
- * `py2app`_
-

-.. _py2exe: http://www.py2exe.org/
-.. _py2app: https://py2app.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
-
-|project| is a cross-platform framework,
-so we would like to focus on solutions that work on the three
-major platforms supported by Qt: Linux, macOS, and Windows.
-The following table summarizes the platform support for those packaging
-tools:

-According to this table, only *fbs*, *cx_Freeze*, and *PyInstaller*
-meets our cross-platform requirement.
-
-As these are command-line tools, it could be hard to include
-resources to your application, such as images, icons, and
-meta-information. This means, you will need special hooks
-or scripts to handle them before adding to the package.
-In addition to this, these tools does not offer a mechanism
-to update your application packages.
-
-To create update packages, use the `PyUpdater <https://www.pyupdater.org/>`_,
-which is built around PyInstaller.
-
-The `fbs`_ tool offers a nice UI
-that allows the user to install the application step-by-step.
-
-Here you can find a set of tutorials on how to use the previously
-described tools.

-.. note::
-
- Deployment is supported only from Qt for Python 5.12.2 and later.
