POIs it possible to install Python on a server so that any connected computer can use it?
text
Body
copied!<p>So my office has a company server to which all computers are connected. I've written a Python script which I would like to make available to all people in the office. Is there a way to install Python directly on this server such that this is possible?</p> <p>Now, I know what you're thinking: make it an executable. I've tried that using <code>py2exe</code> and its just been a miserable failure. The executable it makes is slow, glitchy, and I have to jump through a ton of hoops just to get it to the barely functional state I've managed. The biggest issue is the use of modules which my program edits. To get these to update I have modify a zip archive which does not happen reliably. Installing Python to the server is the best workaround I can come up with for <code>py2exe</code>. I am asking if it is possible and, if yes, how to do it. If it's not, I'd love to hear whatever workaround y'all can come up with.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Things I forgot so say, the server is Windows 64-bit, and I would prefer to not modify it directly (ie, I would like to do everything from my computer if possible)</p> <p>Things I tried:</p> <ul> <li>Installing vanilla Python directly onto the server. This didn't work since the actual dlls were not accesible to other machines on the LAN</li> <li>Setting up path variables through the network to a machine which has Python installed. This didn't work because of firewalls on the network and such.</li> </ul>
