How to reduce the size of a python application?

Question

Python

I put together a simple app with py2app and it's 11.1 MB, while via Platypus it's 512 KB.

Why such a difference? And how to make more compact applications?

Answer 2

Platypus does not carry python with him, if not set up separately. Therefore, the size is smaller. But such a program cannot be run on a computer where python is not installed.
