Releasing modules and scripts on pypi has become very easy -- I'd forgotten how hard packaging private code is! Well, pyzzer comes to mind (you find it on pypi). It creates an executable zip-archive containing all the stuff that you need (at least the pure python modules). The problem remains: how to find all the modules and packages that need to be included? Python's modulefinder can do this for you. If you want to live on the cutting edge you could try the new one that I've written for Python3. It currently lives in http://code.google.com/p/ctypes-stuff/source/browse/trunk/mf/py2exe/mf3.py It has several advantages against the standard library's modulefinder; for example it finds and is able to extract the bytecode even from zipped eggs. For examples how it can be used, you could peek into the runtime.py module in the same directory, method build_library of class Runtime. I guess for an experienced developer it takes around one day to take these pieces and build a script that scans a python script, finds all the needed modules and packages, and uses pyzzer to build an executable archive from it.

Packaging a private project

Then you can run the zip file with python as if it was a python script. Oscar -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
