New submission from Paul Moore: The zipapp module allows users to bundle their application as a single file "executable". On Windows, the file is given a ".pyz" extension which is associated with the Python launcher. However, this approach is not always equivalent to a native executable (see http://paul-moores-notes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/wrappers.html for more details).
I suggest adding an option to zipapp that prepends a small executable to the zipapp that uses the Python C API to launch the application. A prototype implementation (zastub) is available at https://github.com/pfmoore/pylaunch. If this seems reasonable, I'll work up a full patch. ---------- assignee: paul.moore components: Library (Lib), Windows messages: 277224 nosy: paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Add an option to zipapp to produce a Windows executable type: enhancement versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
