Maintaining |PyInstaller| is a huge amount of work. |PyInstaller| development can only continue if users and companies provide sustainable funding. Otherwise issues and pull-requests will be left to linger until somebody can’t afford to not fix them.

While PyInstaller is a voluntary project, the maintainers need to make their living. Each day they spend on other (paid) projects is missing for |PyInstaller|.

Please fund generously to keep PyInstaller development up at speed.

Thanks!

Current Funding Status

(Number are updated about monthly.)

Funding by Companies

If your company uses from |PyInstaller|, please consider funding work on some issue, some days of full-time development or conclude a maintenance contract.

A grant for contiguous full-time development has the biggest impact for progress. Periods of 3 to 10 days allow a contributor to tackle substantial complex issues which are otherwise left to linger until somebody can’t afford to not fix them.

Contact Hartmut Goebel to arrange a grant for a core developer.

We also welcome your patronage on Bountysource:

  • Contribute a recurring amount to the team
  • Place a reasonable bounty on a specific feature (Please keep in mind that high-quality development is time-consuming and 100 € wouldn't get you far.)

Your contribution will go towards adding new features to |PyInstaller| and making sure all functionality continues to meet our high quality standards.

Funding by Individuals

If you are using |PyInstaller| for a company or commercial project please consider funding some days of full-time development.

Huge thanks to all the companies and individuals who financially contributed to the development of |PyInstaller|. Please send a PR if you funded and would like to be listed on the web-site.
