a good python to exe compiler? [closed]
40
I am new to python and apart from the language itself, I am exploring various aspects of it. in terms of compilation into .exe (so that it can be deployed without installing python too)
I checked py2exe, new releases stopped a few years ago.
Then pyInstaller, seems to have stopped at python 2.7.
Can I get a list of all python to exe compilers? thanks

I had an impression that python cannot be compiled effectively due to its dynamic features. yes, there are tools that can produce an exe, but I thought that they rely on a runtime anyways.

For reference:pyInstalleris still under active development, and working on 3.x support, although I have no idea how far away it is. Andpy2exealready supports 3.x (although you have to run it under 2.7). This is just a comment, not an answer—cx_freeze is probably what you want.

@akonsu More or less true, the conclusion is either not true or not relevant. These tools include the runtime (as in, python.dll and all used modules) with the resulting executable, so it does not have dependencies (apart from the right version of the C runtime, I think, but a C executable needs that too).

@akonsu This term is at least ambiguous due to the widespread use in python (just search 'python compiler' on SO) to define several things (p.e there are pyc files as well as compiler module in the library -in py3k a built in compile function). IMHO the OP does not deserve those downvotes (similar posts with similar titles have been highly upvoted on SO).

Works fine for Python 3.x.
Otherwise you can always make your script run at Python 2.x and use a program that can transform from that version.

I've had luck using IronPython and the pyc.py tool. You can basically turn your python into .net bytecode and then to an exe.

Works fine for Python 3.x.
Otherwise you can always make your script run at Python 2.x and use a program that can transform from that version.

I've had luck using IronPython and the pyc.py tool. You can basically turn your python into .net bytecode and then to an exe.

yea, that is pretty much the way to go.

I had an impression that python cannot be compiled effectively due to its dynamic features. yes, there are tools that can produce an exe, but I thought that they rely on a runtime anyways.

For reference:
pyInstalleris still under active development, and working on 3.x support, although I have no idea how far away it is. Andpy2exealready supports 3.x (although you have to run it under 2.7). This is just a comment, not an answer—cx_freeze is probably what you want.– abarnert

@akonsu More or less true, the conclusion is either not true or not relevant. These tools include the runtime (as in, python.dll and all used modules) with the resulting executable, so it does not have dependencies (apart from the right version of the C runtime, I think, but a C executable needs that too).

@akonsu This term is at least ambiguous due to the widespread use in python (just search 'python compiler' on SO) to define several things (p.e there are pyc files as well as compiler module in the library -in py3k a built in compile function). IMHO the OP does not deserve those downvotes (similar posts with similar titles have been highly upvoted on SO).
