Python and Qt simplified

This should not be this hard or expensive. Racket can do this out of the box. I’m sure there are better ways to do this in Python.

I used this project once and it was a huge distraction. It also ended up making us have to pin the whole project to python version 3.6 when 3.9 was out because it wasn’t sufficiently maintained itself.

It was much more sustainable and maintainable to just write our own build scripts for each platform with template tags and automate from there.

I'm a satisfied user of cx_Freeze in combination with Qt, but I only build Windows installers, so YMMV.

I used to use cx_freeze but started having problems with it which I can't remember offhand.

I switched to PyInstaller - see my comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30820723
