Distribute Embeddable Python

Embeddable Python + pip + libraries All in One

The embeddable package is intended for acting as part of another application and doesn't even include pip at the time it is downloaded from python.org. This library downloads the embeddable python and configures it so that you can use with strong third party libraries out-of-the-box. If you prefer, it can compress the embeddable package folder to a zipfile and you can easily pass it to others.

Demo

dep.mp4

What it does inside

• Downloads the embeddable python from python.org and unzip
• Enables import site
• Downloads get-pip.py and install pip
• (Optional) installs other packages in requirements.txt
• (Optional) compresses the python into a single zip file.

Download embeddable python with pip installed

The python executables with pip installed available (Only amd64).

Make your own python with pip and libraries

1. Install Rust from https://www.rust-lang.org/
2. Clone this repository and change your current directory to this repo
3. Build Rust and make an executable
   • run cargo build --release
   • the executable will be created at ./target/release/distribute_embeddable_python.exe
4. Run the executable

Usage: distribute_embeddable_python.exe [OPTIONS] --pyversion <PYVERSION>

Options:
  -p, --pyversion <PYVERSION>        Python version e.g. 3.11.0
      --cpu <CPU>                    Cpu type to install. it must be 'win32' or 'amd64' or 'arm64' (arm64 only if pyversion >= 3.11). Defaults to 'amd64'
  -s, --savepath <SAVEPATH>          where to save the python. Defaults to './python-{pyversion}-embed-{cpu}'
  -r, --requirements <REQUIREMENTS>  requirements.txt path to install libraries from. if not specified, no libraries will be installed
  -i, --install <INSTALL>            libraries to install. If you install multiple libraries, the command must be surrounded by "". This is ignored if requirements is set.
  -c, --compress                     if true it compresses the python into a single zip file.
  -h, --help                         Print help information
  -V, --version                      Print version information

example

distribute_embeddable_python.exe --pyversion 3.10.8 --compress --install "pandas numpy tqdm" distribute_embeddable_python.exe --pyversion 3.10.8 --requirements ./requirements.txt

How to install libraries manually

Because PATH of the embeddable python or pip is not added, you can't call pip as you usually do like pip install numpy.

Instead, you can call pip from the path of python such as python-3.11.0-embed-amd64\python.exe -m pip install numpy
