How does it differentiate from PyInstaller?

I wondered the same, then checked the source. The difference is this one is made with Rust.

The main difference is it does no build sorcery. In the end, your code is running on a real installation on disk. Therefore, there is no chance for extension modules to fail.

Does it potentially solve the problem of anti viruses false-flagging the runtime? Pyinstaller was giving me huge headaches with this
