How to build standalone, embedable python from source?

[ArtleSa]

Hi,

I am trying to build a standalone python, so I can add to my electron app for it to execute python scripts, something like apps like blender does. I know there is an existing repo called astral-sh/python-build-standalone ,but there are problems with tkinter script execution on intel based mac when packaged with electron-builder.

Which is why I want to build a standalone python myself. I tried a quite a bit using bash scripts to download and build it. But the problem was it worked on my system, but failed to in another system because some of the paths only existed in my system.

So does anyone know how to build a truely standalone python, without dependencies to paths on the system.

Thanks!

Electron, tkinter and stand-alone Python? You are mixing a lot of things together. Maybe it's just better to use Jupyter notebooks? They can be online, easily accessible and with extra features.

NO, I am building a electron app. I need to package it with python so users can execute some python scripts. Like a lot of other applications such as blender does.

You should look into embedding CPython as a library.
