Hello ! I made my program with PyQt 5 it is little tool that help me in my work and i want to ask you. Is it possible to make from python code setup ? Not exe but setup. I want to make setup like all software have. What is official way to do this ?

Thank you
There are two or more routes here.
To share without other Python users is PyPi the standard way.
Then make setup script with setup.py(which make a wheel),this wheel upload to PyPi.
Then Python user will use pip to install your program.
pip install qt_prog

What i think you mean more like normal install on Windows next --> next --> finish in a GUI form.
Look at NSIS for examples.
pynsist 2.5 dos use NSIS and bundle Python,so here get a installer.
I have used Inno Setup before,the first use Pyinstaller,then use Inno Setup for the installer part.

What i have done for my older GUI project for WxPython that many people has used,
is to make GitHub,BitBucket page to show images of GUI and explain what is dos.
This make People more happy as there are some documentation and code is open.
Then have a download option or how to use from this page.
Thank you for your help !
