Use of base_library.zip file in pyinstaller

I created a PyQt application and then made it's .exe file using auto-py-to-exe. I am observing that it has created a base_library.zip file inside my directory. I want to know it's purpose and should I unzip this file or not?

I am using Python 3, PyQt4 and windows 10.

Solution

  • Auto-py-to-exe creates a base_library.zip file when selected "One Directory". One shouldn't try to unzip this file. Just leave it as it is.
