🔥 Description¶

📦 Pyaket is a tool that bundles and generates portable executables of your Python projects for many platforms. No more convoluted installation instructions for casual users, give them the exe file they want [1], without reinventing the wheel on alternative packaging solutions.

✨ Major features include:

• Fast installation, automatically manages python, venvs, and dependencies.
• Cross compilation to multiple platforms and architectures made easy #
• Standalone executables without network calls at runtime (planned).
• Iterative development in mind, reinstalls a version if the binary changes.
• Smart and safe, detects partial installs, downloads, unpacks.
• First class monorepo support, bundle many wheels to be installed at runtime.
• Rolling releases are supported, single binary that runs last version always #
• PyTorch optional installation at runtime, automatic backend detection. #
• Version management, easy uninstallation and updates notifications (planned).
• Splash screen to look fancy, custom icons for your app (planned).

⚔️ Cross compilation¶

Thanks to Rust's amazing toolchain, coupled with cargo-zigbuild, and mostly using pure Rust crates, Pyaket can pretty much compile executables from any platform to any platform.

• No Docker or Virtual Machines required!

The table below shows the known status for all combinations, help me with feedback!

💰 Commercial¶

Pyaket is free to use for open source projects that distributes releases at no cost.

Commercial usage (including selling executables, for-profit deployments) or bundling proprietary software requires an appropriate sponsorship tier. You may freely evaluate the viability beforehand, or use it to get started at a limited budget. Fair and enables me to keep the project alive and improve it over time.

Get in touch if you have any questions, need support or features, or want a custom agreement!
