In case you do not have much experience with Python packages, you -might have even asked: *How do I create a Python executable?*. - -If you come from compiled programming languages, deployment is something -almost trivial, but for Python is a bit difficult. - -The deployment process for Python applications is called, "freezing", which is -distributing your virtual environment content to other users. - -.. important:: As Python does not support WebAssembly and mobile platforms, - such as Android and iOS, you cannot deploy applications to these platforms - directly, and you require advanced processes to do so. - -.. note:: For embedded systems, you currently need to build |project| for your - target platform, and deploy the installation alongside your application. - -Reproducible deployment ------------------------ - -A common approach is to only provide a ``requirements.txt`` file, where you -state your dependencies. Users would need to install them from there -to run your Application. - -For example, imagine I have a project with two dependencies, ``module_a`` and -``module_b``, which I use in my ``main.py`` file. So my structure is: - -.. code-block:: python - - # Content of the main.py file - from module_a import something - import module_b - - # ... - -So the ``requirements.txt`` for my application would look like this:: - - module_a - module_b - -Later, when a user want to execute your ``main.py``, the dependencies -must be installed using :command:`pip install -r requirements.txt` -in a new virtual environment. - -.. important:: You can notice that this approach includes sharing your code - so it fails if you want to hide the code of your application. - -Freezing Your Application -------------------------- - -This is the most common approach for users to distribute their applications -and even though the code is still available for the end user, it is a bit more -difficult to retrieve it. - -You can find a series of tutorials based on the most popular tools that -allow Python users to freeze and distribute applications in our -:ref:`deployment` section. - -Compiling Python ----------------- - -Even though Python does not natively support to be compiled, there are -complementary tools that let you to achieve this. -You can check the `Nuitka <https://nuitka.net/>`_ project to learn more. |
