Cross platform distribution of standalone executable

Hi,

One of my clients does not want the Python VM installed on his
production machine (because it is not a supported IT language) so the
only way I can program in Python and release the application to him is
to make a standalone executable and deploy it. The last time I looked
at something like this, Macmillan installer was a good contender but
now that website seems to be AWOL.

Are there any alternate installers out there? Googling didn't bring up
any other maintained installer.

This installer should be able to build on Windows, Linux and AIX.

Thanks,

Mahesh

Take a look at cx_Freeze:

Hi all- I'm trying to port an ajax spell-checker (http://www.broken-notebook.com/spell_checker/index.php) to use with the moin moin wiki and have been somewhat successful. (By successful I mean I can spell check using the php backend and my python port running as cgi-bin). My question is this: moinmoin runs on many python web backends (cgi-bin/mod-python/twisted/standalone). My spell-checker backend runs

I am looking for a Linux distribution and a standard C++ compiler (IDE not too important) that can also compile to Win32, to run on my Dell dimension 2400... I have trouble with new distros since installing a USB 2 card. I am wondering if it is better to get a new machine and dedicate it to Linux and C++ development and deal with cross platform issues later, alternatively use something like Borland C++ on Windows.

Hello, everyb. Does anybody know simple cross-platform method of probing if executable binary is available and launching it. Problem no.1: test if executable file is available I'll take windows platform as the most relevant in this case. os.access() doesn't handle env PATHEXT and can't detect if a given path would be executable or not. Here "executable" means file that

Alrighty Guys and Gals, I have another question that I hope you all can help me with. I have a report that uses a cross-tab query as its record source. This cross-tab query is getting all of its information from another query. That query, qryRpt, is pulling information from several different tables. One of these table is tblDistributions, a table that holds monthly distributions for a particular investment, and the second is tblDeduction, a...

Hi, I'm interested in developing an application that needs to run on more than one operating system.

I've been programming in Python for 5 or more years now and whenever I want a quick-n-dirty GUI, I use Tkinter. This is partly because it's the first toolkit I learnt, but also because it's part of the standard Python distribution and therefore easy to get Python apps to work cross platform - it usually requires almost no porting effort. However, when I need a little bit more grunt, I tend to turn to Tix, which I thought was also fairly...

Hi, has anybody used McMillan Installer, PyInstall or py2exe cross-platform? I have a Windows partition with Python installed there, so this would "only" required working on a different directory and for a different OS. Since I'm working on Linux, it's awful to boot Windows each time I want to build a new release. Any hint in this area?

Hi list members, It seems to me that this is discussed many times in the past but without progress. As I understand in general there is no objections and preferred cross-compilation has to be based on distutils (scons was rejected). So I would like to cross-compile from linux(build system) to the mingw(host system) and note some(many) problems:

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

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,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
