Precompiled version for Mac OS X ("universal2") / Instructions for "PyInstaller" on Mac OS X?

Author: InfiniteBSODCreated Oct 18, 2025Updated Oct 18, 2025

Hello,

First off thank you so much for your work.

Now to my suggestion and question.

Suggestion: There is a precompiled version for Windows - an EXE - but not a precompiled version for Mac OS X. A precompiled version for Mac OS X which is architecture agnostic meaning it will run regardless on x86-64 (Intel) or arm64 (Apple Silicon) would be very much appreciated.

Question: I tried to make a precompiled version of the 2.4.7-release on my Intel MacBook Air running Sequoia 15.4.1. I downloaded Python 3.14.0 and installed the latest version of "PyInstaller" through PIP. During the first run of PyInstaller the packaging failed due to a lack of Xcode's developer tools. I tried to build the package using this command: pyinstaller --target-arch universal2 --add-data lazagne:lazagne laZagne.py The next run of pyinstaller successfully built the package but I received the following errors when executing: ./lazagne all -password mypassword123

(Naturally "mypassword123" isn't my actual password)

[-] Module Thunderbird is not used due to unresolved dependence:
No module named 'lazagne.softwares.mails'
[-] Module Mozilla is not used due to unresolved dependence:
No module named 'lazagne.softwares.browsers.mozilla'

The next attempt to build the package included the missing modules: pyinstaller --target-arch universal2 --add-data lazagne:lazagne laZagne.py

I then installed the following packages using PIP: xml.etree pyasn1

and tried to build the package again using this command:

pyinstaller --target-arch universal2 --add-data lazagne:lazagne --collect-all xml.etree --collect-all pyasn1 laZagne.py

which returned the following errors when trying to run lazagne with this command: sudo ./lazagne all -password mypassword123 -vvv

So if either the instructions on how to successfully use PyInstaller to build a package for Mac OS X would be included or that a precompiled version (that run regardless on x86-64 and arm64) would be included in releases that would be very much appreciated it.

If someone sees what I am doing wrong with Pyinstaller I would also very much appreciate if you could reply to this issue so I can build lazagne for Mac OS X.

Best Regards - InfiniteBSOD
