Lately, I've been building stand-alone executable applications written in #python (both CLI apps and GUI apps).

I use #nuitka to compile the python scripts to executables (Windows, Linux, and macOS). The resulting binaries run fast and have no dependencies to install.

Anyone here ever tried it?

I made a github action to simplify the process for casual python users, if anyone wants to give it a go --> github.com/marketplace/actions

Cheers!

@jimkring thanks for sharing. Didn't know this was possible. The use case is sharing python scripts without having python installed in the target machine?

@Satrofu yes, that’s the idea. Another way to think of the use case is: creating “real” desktop and CLI apps written in #python that “just work” and are easy for end users to install without headaches.
