python-compile

Compile python apps to linux executables using docker.

This project will use docker to compile your one file python app into a binary that's runnable on many linux systems. This is the easiest way to build an app and may work directly out of the box for many setups.

Work in progress remains for building Windows/MacOS apps via the docker system.

Example

python-compile --os debian --input demo_http_server.py --requirements requirements.txt

demo_http_server

Notes

Right now we use the nuitka build. If you want custom build options then feel free to create a PR.

Windows

This environment requires you to use git-bash.

Linting

Run ./lint.sh to find linting errors using pylint, flake8 and mypy.
