.py to binary

Hi,
I would like to convert a .py file into a stand-alone executable, so that
anyone can run it without having to install the python interpreter. I know
there is a py2exe program for Windows, but I would like to do the same for
Linux. Is it possibile or Linux only allow to use python scripts?
Thanks for helping,
Marco

A large portion of RPM code is written in Python, so any RPM distro (Red
Hat, SuSE, Mandrake...) should have Python installed by default. I think
Debian might too, so you shouldn't worry about making an installer.

Take a look at freeze.py. It is located in Tools/freeze in the
Python source distribution.

What would be the common sense way of finding a binary pattern in a ..bin file, say some 200 bytes, and replacing it with an updated pattern of the same length at the same offset? Also, the pattern can occur on any byte boundary in the file, so chunking through the code at 16 bytes a frame maybe a problem. The file itself isn't so large, maybe 32 kbytes is all and the need for speed is not so great, but the need for accuracy in the...

A signed int reserves one bit to signify whether a number is positive or negative. In light of this, a colleague asked me whether there existed an int in C++ that was -0, a zero with the negative bit set. I was intrigued by this, so I tried the following code: #include <stdio.h> int main(int, char**) { int a(-0); printf("a=%d\n", a);

What does binary mode for an ofstream object do anyway? Despite which mode the stream uses, operator << writes numeric value as their ASCII representation. I read on the Internet that it is possible to change the behavior of operator << so it will stream numeric values as their actual values when an ofstream is in binary mode. I did not, however, find any information on how this can be accomplished. What is involved in getting this...

Hi all, I try to create a tool to check the delta (diff) of 2 binaries and create the delta binary. I use binary formatter (serialization) to create the delta binary. It works fine but the delta binary is pretty huge in size. I have 1 byte file and 2 bytes file, the delta should be 1 byte but somehow it turns out to be 249 bytes using binary formatter. I guess serialization has some other things added to the delta file.

I'm trying to read some binary data from a file created by another program. I know the binary file format but can't change or control the format.

I have to output data into a binary file, that will contain data coming from a four channel measurement instrument. Since those data have to be read from another C program somewhere else, the reading program must know how many channels have been acquired, date, time, and so on. I mean that the position of each datum is not fixed in the file but depends on the conditions when acquired. That is, I need something like a header in the file to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
