🐍 Create executable from python source

pyex

Convert folder containing python source code to a single executable file

Requirements

A version of Python in your path, preferably Python 3

Install

Clone repository

git clone [email protected]:iamogbz/pyex.git

Build pyex from src using pyex src into your /usr/local/bin directory

DEST='/usr/local/bin' make build

Usage

$ pyex -h
usage: pyex [-h] --output OUTPUT [--install] [--ignore [IGNORE [IGNORE ...]]]
            path

positional arguments:
  path                  path to the python script (folder with __main__.py
                        entry point)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -O OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        filename of built executable
  -I, --install         install requirements.txt and include in executable
  -G [IGNORE [IGNORE ...]], --ignore [IGNORE [IGNORE ...]]
                        glob pattern of src files to ignore

First check your code can be executed

python /path/to/directory

If satisfied, build single executable file

pyex /path/to/directory -O /path/to/executable -G "__tests__" "__pycache__" "*.pyc"

Caveats

1. Requires a __main__.py file in the directory being coverted.
2. Limited to nix enviroments. See pyinstaller for other usecases.
