Create single python executable module

Question

Guys, I have much python code in modules which are resides in several python packages and now I need to create single python executable module or file which will include all these files, so it will be working on windows and on linux servers. What are possible solutions and how this can be done?

Solution 1

That's what egg files are for. Read this: What are the advantages of packaging your python library/application as an .egg file?

Solution 2

For windows use py2exe , for linux use pyinstaller and for Mac use py2app

Using these tools you can have a setup.py which based on os will build the final binary.

I have tried all three and they work well, or you can use cx_freeze they claim to be cross-platform

Solution 3

Maybe py2exe can help you ..

py2exe is a Python Distutils extension which converts Python scripts into executable Windows programs, able to run without requiring a Python installation.
