However, osnap provides some specific features not found in these other tools:
- Works on hard-to-freeze packages such as cryptography.
- Provides an executable file as the application’s main invocation. This way it looks like a traditional native application to the OS.
- Provides an installer (some tools only freeze the app and leave it up to the developer to do the installer).
- The self-contained Python environment created for the installer can also be used by the developer during development and debug. This can help reduce issues encountered in the final user’s machine.
