How can I make a Python script standalone executable to run without ANY dependency? [duplicate]
(19 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have to check versions of different software and their proper patches and I have written a python script that works (developed in my office laptop).
Now I have to run the scripts in my labs and the lab PCs do not have python and I am not allowed to install python on them.
Is there a way to run my python script in the labs?
Options I have seen
Convert my python to an EXE and run it.
If I choose this option, I do not prefer the use of the scheduler to run the EXE in a fixed time as the labs may be used for testing.
How do I create API for my code so I can call the API and run it as needed?
or is there a better way than I have missed?
You could use this alternative way if you dont want to compile to EXE:
For Running Script
Download Portable Python in Folder here
(Optional for additional packeges used) Place venv(Python Virtual Enviroment) in same folder
(Optional) Use venv with python.exe -m venv env
Open cmd in folder with python.exe
Run your script with python.exe script.py
For API:
You can use arguments for API ,it depends how much time and effort you want to put in.
Use sys.args and run script with required arguments
Use TCP Server on allowed ports and listen for commands* (Can be time consuming if you didnt worked with TCP)*

I have developed some scripts which I need to share with colleagues who does not have python nor have underlying distributions to run it. How to automatically configure environment and more importantly run the script without even python installed?
I saw some solutions on SO like py2exe. Not sure that it’s the best option. Docker is also not possible since in my case I need something what can work simply by running python3 path/to/program
You can use online coding platforms like repl.it to run scripts from the browser so u don't want to install python locally.
Convert it into a exe file using pyinstaller
Following are the steps:
1. Open cmd on the folder in which you stored your py file
2.type it on the cmd
pyinstaller -- onefile filename.py
If you don't have pyinstaller module then install it using
pip install pyinstaller
It depends on the complexity of the script.
If it is doing complex things that it needs to be run on your computer for, like file input & output, then PyInstaller is probably the way:
pip isntall
pyinstaller -- onefile script.py
If it is just a short script, then Repl.It is a great way to save and share scripts that can be viewed and run right in the browser. It supports installing pip packages and environments. It even has a feature where you can host a terminal app as a website: repl.run
I am using PyInstaller to create a complete standalone executables, that does not depend on a machine having python interpreter. Here is a complete guide: https://datatofish.com/executable-pyinstaller/
I am looking to schedule my python script runs with jenkins. The issue is, my scripts use a lot of libs like pandas etc that are installed on my mac terminal.
Is there a way to allow Jenkins to pick up these modules (or run the scripts as if it was terminal)? Also is there a way to run Python3 in jenkins?
I have already configured Jenkins to execute from custom workspace and have tried both shell and plugin executions.
The answer is yes, but it is detailed so I can only give you high level steps here. Jenkins can execute command line statements, and python modules can be run from the command line.
I would start by using the begins library to create a python file to run from the command line with arguments. Get it working on your local machine that way.
You will want to use either virtualenv or venv, and do all your pip installs using that virtual environment. Then you can copy the virtual environment to your Jenkins machine, or create a new one. Look into the freeze tool.
When calling your python from jenkins, you must first activate your virtual environment just as if you were working on it yourself.
You have a lot of research to do, but is very doable. I can help with follow up questions if needed.
I have a script that I wrote in Python. It uses some libraries such as Twython that allows me to post pictures and text to twitter. Now I am trying to make my own photo-booth that runs on Windows. I wish to run the script on the windows computer and I do not wish to install Python on the Windows machine.
I have tried to make exectuables but they do not work (I think because I have inputs that need run after the script (python script.py Message filepath). I thought there was a way to include everything of a normal Python install in the folder you run your script from and it will allow me run it cross platform.
Edit: My question is how can I package python up to run with out installing it preferably from a folder on the desktop.

How do I check which version of Python is running my script?

I have a series of unit tests that are meant to run in two contexts:
1) On a buildbot server
2) in developer's home environments
In both our development procedure and in the buildbot server we use virtualenv. The tests run fine in the developer environments, but with buildbot the tests are being run from the python executable in the virtualenv without activating the virtualenv.
This works out for most tests, but there are a few that shell out to run scripts, and I want them to run the scripts with the virtualenv's python executable. Is there a way to pull the path to the current python executable inside the tests themselves to build the shell commands that way?
The current python executable is always available as sys.executable, which should give full path (but you can ensure this using os.path functions).
I have an account to a computing cluster that uses Scientific Linux. Of course I only have user access. I'm working with python and I need to run python scripts, so I need to import some python modules. Since I don't have root access, I installed a local python copy on my $HOME with all the required modules. When I run the scripts on my account (hosting node), they run correctly. But in order to submit jobs to the computing queues (to process on much faster machines), I need to submit a bash script that has a line that executes the scripts. The computing cluster uses SunGrid Engine. However when I submit the bash script, I get an error that the modules I installed can't be found!
So my understanding to the problem is that the modules are not sent or something to the machine that executes the script. My question is: is it possible to include all the modules in the script or so?
EDIT: I just created a bash script that runs which python and I noticed that the output was NOT my python copy. But when I run 'which python' on my ssh account, I get my python copy correctly..
The submitted script is most likely using the system Python installation and not your own. Try submitting a shell script with only one command, which python, to confirm.
The fix is to prepend the path to your Python interpreter to your system path. On my machine, the right Python is installed at /Users/mbatchkarov/anaconda/bin/python. I added export PATH="/Users/mbatchkarov/anaconda/bin:$PATH" to ~/.bash_profile
EDIT Add the same line to ~/.bashrc.
