### DEPENDENCIES
Python versions 2.6, 2.7, or 3.2+ are currently supported. However, 3.2+ is strongly recommended and python2 support will be deprecated in the future.
Python versions 3.6+ (CPython and PyPy) are officially supported. Other versions and implementations may or maynot work correctly.
Although there are no required dependencies, `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` are highly recommended. Other optional dependencies are `sponskrub`, `AtomicParsley`, `mutagen`, `pycryptodome` and any of the supported external downloaders. Note that the windows releases are already built with the python interpreter, mutagen and pycryptodome included.

**For Windows**:
To build the Windows executable, you must have pyinstaller (and optionally mutagen and pycryptodome)
python -m pip install --upgrade pyinstaller mutagen pycryptodome
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pyinstaller mutagen pycryptodome
Once you have all the necessary dependencies installed, just run `py pyinst.py`. The executable will be built for the same architecture (32/64 bit) as the python used to build it. It is strongly recommended to use python3 although python2.6+ is supported.
