+Packaging is tricky. The goal is to make an executable .exe for Windows (Mac OSX and Linux support later).
+
+
+
+
+
+## fman build system (fbs)
+
+For stand-alone executable from PyQt5

+
+```
+pip install fbs PyQt5==5.9.2 pyinstaller==3.4
+```
+
+**Not sure this installation works anymore. Since v0.20.0 fbs Pro is used.**
+
+
+
+
+
+## Notes about specific modules
+
+
+
+### plotly
+
+After packaging, the **QtWebEngineView** does not work. If the exe is executed, this error message appears:
+
+``Could not find QtWebEngineProcess.exe``
+
+**QtWebEngineView.exe** cannot be found, but it is available in the folder:
+
+``target\DIIVE\PyQt5\Qt\bin\QtWebEngineProcess.exe``
+
+There is a solution to this that worked:

+
+
+
+### statsmodels
+
+Generates an error when trying to use fbs. Code compiles OK, but then on trying to execute the script there is an error and app does not start.
+
+In short:
+
+- DOES NOT WORK: import statsmodels.api as sm
+- **WORKS: import statsmodels.formula.api as smf**

+
+### pandas-profiling (not used)
+
+Convenient module that generates statistical output that can be exported to a file. Unfortunately including this module in the code generates this error when trying to run the .exe on Windows:
+
+> confuse.ConfigReadError: file L:\Dropbox\luhk_work\Programming\ProjectRoom Repository\Amp_INDEV\Amp_dist_test\target\Amp\pandas_profiling\config_default.yaml could not be read: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'L:\\Dropbox\\luhk_work\\Programming\\ProjectRoom Repository\\Amp_INDEV\\Amp_dist_test\\target\\Amp\\pandas_profiling\\config_default.yaml'
