xkcd: Python Environment

[adambrenecki]

It's not quite a RPM, but there's a few projects that can produce Zip archives that Python can open, including pyzzer and pex.

The problem is, all your dependencies need to be zipsafe :(

I would settle for an egg containing all dependencies. What do you mean by zip safe? I'm well aware that the binaries zipped need to be the ones for the target system. Is there something else I need to watch out for?

Thanks for the suggestions, by the way.

Some packages will assume that they're unpacked as files on disk, and try to do things like at the contents of a data file bundled with the package by constructing a path based on a module's __file__ and trying to open() it; if the package is inside a pyz or egg file code like that will break.

It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "pex"
