Jul 27, 2013 · Also be aware that you don't need to compile a .py file to run it. Python is an interpreted language, and you can run the scripts directly, either using: python hello.py Or make your script executable by adding #!/usr/bin/env python to the top of the script, making the file executable with chmod +x hello.py and then running:./hello.py

Change example_file.py to whatever file you are actually trying to compile. Note: Cython may not approve of filenames containing dashes (-). Cython is used to use C-Type Variable definitions for static memory allocation to speed up Python programs. In your case however, you will still be using traditional Python definitions.

first find the path where python is in your os with : which python. it usually resides under "/usr/bin/python" folder. at the very first line of hello.py one should add : #!/usr/bin/python. then through linux command chmod. one should just make it executable like : chmod +x hello.py. and execute with ./hello.py

To “compile” a Python program into an executable, use a bundling tool, such as Gordon McMillan’s installer (alternative download) (cross-platform), Thomas Heller’s py2exe (Windows), Anthony Tuininga’s cx_Freeze (cross-platform), or Bob Ippolito’s py2app (Mac).

Sep 9, 2012 · Hey, this even works with wine, at least up to version 3.4 of python, which supports Windows XP. Really great! I created a windows executable with wine, python 3.4 and pip-Win (just follow the installation instructions on pyinstaller website) on my Fedora Linux machine. –

Jan 24, 2017 · Yes, it is possible to compile Python scripts into standalone executables. PyInstaller can be used to convert Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and AIX. It is one of the recommended converters. py2exe converts Python scripts into only executable on the Windows platform.

At a shell prompt (in a terminal), run . sudo apt-get install build-essential This will fetch all the common packages you need to build anything (e.g. the compiler etc.).

Feb 24, 2011 · If it's for Linux, and if you're planning on distributing your application, you just package it to whatever linux distribution format you're targeting - just like every other binary package. e.g. myapp_1_wheezy_amd64.deb would be your compiled python app linked against either python2 or python3 for that distro.

Jun 14, 2022 · If -m is necessary, you can create a wrapper that runs py_compile and pass arguments with sys.argv. $ cat compile_it.py. import sys import py_compile # cfile` is named argument for destination filename py_compile.compile(sys.argv[1], cfile=sys.argv[2]) And use it with: python -m compile_it abc.py /Users/documents/abc.pyc

Sep 8, 2010 · cx_Freeze is a set of scripts and modules for freezing Python scripts into executables in much the same way that py2exe and py2app do. Unlike these two tools, cx_Freeze is cross platform and should work on any platform that Python itself works on.
