I built an one-dir app with pyinstaller but I found that there are some folder with some module files like License, Metadata, Installer etc. The folders are named as module-version.dist-info

will it be safe to remove those folders from the one-dir?

And can anyone tell me which among the other folders can be removed without causing any issue?

CodePudding user response：

You should not remove any of them.

While your program may run and function fine without a few of them, you are likely violating some of the OSS licenses you have agreed to if you remove any of them. Also all of the files serve some purpose otherwise the package maintainers would not have included them in their package.

Removing them is unlikely to make much of an impact on size, and every file you remove increases your chances of breaking something.
