Executable standalone *.pyc after inserting #!/usr/bin/python or other options
All: I've been playing with Lua and found something really cool that I'm unable to do in Python. With Lua, a script can be compiled to byte code using luac and by adding #!/usr/bin/lua at the top of the binary, the byte code becomes a single file executable. After I found this trick, I ran back to Python to give it a try. Well... it didn't work. Is this possible? There are tools which insert python and related modules inside the byte code, but this is not the requirement for this situation. The required solution is to insert #!/ usr/bin/python (or some string) at the top of a *.pyc byte code file and run it as standalone executable. I'm excited about the possibility and interested in hearing your thoughts. Thank you, Christopher Smiga -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I've been playing with Lua and found something really cool that I'm unable to do in Python. With Lua, a script can be compiled to byte code using luac and by adding #!/usr/bin/lua at the top of the binary, the byte code becomes a single file executable. After I found this trick, I ran back to Python to give it a try. Well... it didn't work. Is this possible? In Python, a different approach will work, depending on the operating system. E.g. on Linux, you can use binfmt_misc to make executables out of pyc code. Run import imp,sys,string magic = string.join([\\x%.2x % ord(c) for c in imp.get_magic()],) reg = ':pyc:M::%s::%s:' % (magic, sys.executable) open(/proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register,wb).write(reg) once on your Linux system (or, rather, at boot time), and all pyc files become executable (if the x bit is set). In Debian, installing the binfmt-support package will do that for you. Do ls /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/ to see what binary types are already supported on your system. HTH, Martin P.S. The approach you present for Lua indeed does not work for Python. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Executable standalone *.pyc after inserting #!/usr/bin/python or other options
This works great! Do you or anyone else have information on how to do the same thing for Windows and/or Solaris. On Windows, just associate the .pyc extension with Python - the standard installation will already do that. On Solaris, I don't think something like this is supported.
