❓ FAQ

Q: Does this work on Linux/Mac? A: Yes! Running from source works on all platforms. The standalone EXE is currently Windows-optimized.

Q: Where are my files stored? A: By default, PyMCL keeps data in ~/.pymcl-data (or D:\pymcl-data on Windows).

Q: Why is the EXE so small? A: We use Nuitka to compile Python to C, stripping out roughly 90% of the usual bloat found in Python applications. However, we still have around 25 MB of files due to PyQT6's resources
