Hi,
I'd like to put the python library and interpreter on a small embedded
Linux x86 compatible device where disk space is an issue. I played
around with the minimal Python interpreters, but was not entirely happy
with them, so my question is, is there an (preferably easy) way to put
the interpreter and a cut-down version of the python library/modules
that ship with regular Python into a new archive that I can safely copy
and use? My current method is to copy the python interpreter and the
python shared library to the device. Then I create a tar archive with
all startup files from the site package directory to my archive using
the following one-liner:
strace -f -eopen python -c 'pass' 2>&1 | grep -v ENO | grep '\.py' | awk
'BEGIN { FS="\"" } { print $2 }' | tar cvf x.tar -T -
This effectively packs all python library files that are accessed upon
startup into a tar archive. But I figure this method is not what I want
because there surely are files I am missing here (for example which are
accessed when starting a script), and what I really want is a minimal
environment that works. Let's say I want a complete Python install, but
without all the batteries :-)
Any pointers?
Regards,
Thomas. 1 4070

Perhaps there are some projects on the following pages which may help
in some way: http://wiki.python.org/moin/EmbeddedPython http://wiki.python.org/moin/Tiny_Python

I think there's an overlap between "installer" tools and some of the
projects mentioned on the above pages, especially where retaining only
the critical libraries in the resulting distribution is concerned.

Several people asked me for the following HOWTO, so I decided to
post it here (though it is still very 'alpha' and might contain

or less - during my own installation of Python 2.3 on Fedora Core 1
Linux for a friend of mine).
Anyway, HTH, L.

Hi,
are there any guidelines about what to do if a Windows extension for
Python 2.4 requires the C++ runtime (msvcp71.dll)? If I want to
distribute a binary installer of an extension that contains C++ code,
should I really include the msvcp71.dll in the package? It doesn't
sound like a good idea to me if every package places another copy of
this dll somewhere in the Python directory.
Python 2.4 does install the C runtime (msvcr71.dll)...
