  1. POHow to build a single python file from multiple scripts?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a simple python script, which imports various other modules I've written (and so on). Due to my environment, my PYTHONPATH is quite long. I'm also using Python 2.4.</p> <p>What I need to do is somehow package up my script and all the dependencies that aren't part of the standard python, so that I can email a single file to another system where I want to execute it. I know the target version of python is the same, but it's on linux where I'm on Windows. Otherwise I'd just use py2exe.</p> <p>Ideally I'd like to send a .py file that somehow embeds all the required modules, but I'd settle for automatically building a zip I can just unzip, with the required modules all in a single directory.</p> <p>I've had a look at various packaging solutions, but I can't seem to find a suitable way of doing this. Have I missed something?</p> <p>[edit] I appear to be quite unclear in what I'm after. I'm basically looking for something like py2exe that will produce a single file (or 2 files) from a given python script, automatically including all the imported modules.</p> <p>For example, if I have the following two files:</p> <pre><code>[\foo\module.py] def example(): print "Hello" [\bar\program.py] import module module.example() </code></pre> <p>And I run:</p> <pre><code>cd \bar set PYTHONPATH=\foo program.py </code></pre> <p>Then it will work. What I want is to be able to say:</p> <pre><code>magic program.py </code></pre> <p>and end up with a single file, or possibly a file and a zip, that I can then copy to linux and run. I don't want to be installing my modules on the target linux system.</p>
