How to compile 3rd party python into single large binary

I am developing an app that pulls loads of 3rd party python libraries/code
in. The problem is that I don't want to require potential buyers to
struggle to get the software going:

Problems might be:
1. Packaging system that they use to pull applications onto their machine
does not have the right modules.
2. They now have to run and maintain tar.zipped installs
3. They want to use the software, not spend a long time installing it
4. They might be on windows or linux

The software will be distributed both as a standalone product as well as
with a debian based larger product that already includes all the libraries.

So, here is my question:

1. Does anybody know of a way to build a single large file containing all
the source/compiled code?

I don't want to change the software to have to bundle my and third party
packages together in the same dir.

Thanks,
Pieter

Hi all-- I'm new to Python, and was somewhat taken aback to discover that the core language lacks some basic numerical types (e.g., single-precision float, short integers). I realize that there are extensions that add these types-- But what's the rationale for leaving them out? Have I wandered into a zone in the space/time continuum where people never have to read binary data files? Matt Feinstein

After nine months of hard work, I am proud to introduce my baby to the world: an experimental Python-to-C++ compiler. It can convert many Python programs into optimized C++ code, without any user intervention such as adding type declarations. It uses rather advanced static type inference techniques to deduce type information by itself. In addition, it determines whether deduced types may be parameterized, and if so, it generates...

Hello there, I have been programming python for a little while, now. But as I am beginning to do more complex stuff, I am running into small organization problems. It is possible that what I want to obtain is not possible, but I would like the advice of more experienced python programmers. I am writing a relatively complex program in python that has now around 40 files.

Hi there, I am currently involved in managing a large python/c++ project (using swig to automagically wrap c++ code to python). So far my current experience was that python was a second class citizen and extremely little python code was written and everything seemed to work. Now this is the contrary, large portion of code are written python with a few expection of c++ code for core algorithms. So as you might

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
