Could you write a guide? Pretty please? I've had nothing but woe in this realm, and anytime one asks about this the answers usually contradict each other, or leave out significant detail. I think an article that details your workflow could be tremendously interesting for others.

What problems do you have with CLI apps? In my experience, the problem is whether you're targeting developers (i.e., people that can run pip install <tool>) or end-users (those that just want to run a binary).

Python is hell for the latter. I support Windows and Linux, so I can bend pyinstaller to my will with enough effort, but I need to have a special Windows VM to "cross-compile".

For the former, though, it's a matter of creating a setup.py and telling the user to pip install the repo on GitHub. Or you can use Poetry, which makes things slightly easier.
