Compiling Python Scripts

[iCantThinkOfAName]

Hello,

Someone made me a python program, but never compiled it, I've googled around and don't particularly understand it very well, I can manage to compile a single script, but this has multiple scripts that are referred to from the main script, and I don't understand how to make this work.

EDIT: What I'm meaning is running it from a single executable.

Here's the link if you need to see: http://www.mediafire.com/file/z4rza1ym38luel5/SM64AutoSplitter-master_%25281%2529.zip/file

Thanks, Max

If you're asking how to create a standalone Python app so you don't need a Python environment to run it: https://www.pyinstaller.org/

 

Otherwise, you don't typically compile Python scripts, you run them through an interpreter.

Yeah, thats what I meant, I don't really have a background in coding so compile seemed like the best thing to say. I did mess about with py installer, but don't understand how to add the dependency scripts.

Python scripts are interpreted, not compiled. You need to download and install Python to run the script.

EDIT: yes they can be compiled into C, I suppose

Yeah, I understand that they need to be ran through an interpreter, what I was trying to say in my OP is getting it to run from a single application without having to install all of the libraries.

if all you need is to run the script and you have python installed on your system you can use pip to download dependencies:

pip install --user <dependency>

if you don't want to or can't install python then pyinstaller is really the only way

It might do it automagically, assuming you have whatever dependencies you need installed on your environment.

 

EDIT: The documentation seems to imply this:

Quote

PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a Python interpreter or any modules. PyInstaller supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.4+, and correctly bundles the major Python packages such as numpy, PyQt, Django, wxPython, and others.

Pretty sure it doesn't, at least I think not having these scripts is what's causing the problem.

This is the error that I get, and read somewhere that it wasn't accessing some of the other scripts, could this mean something else?

Found this in one of the folders pyinstaller produced, I have all of these installed so I don't understand why that's happening

Alright, found a dependency that I didn't have, I go to install it through pip and it says it failed to build the wheel for it, how do I install a .whl file?

How do I do this? I've downloaded the windows version but don't understand how to install it

there's an executable in the .zip, move it to a folder in your PATH or just have it in the folder you're running pip in.

Installed swig, but it didn't seem like it fully worked

try following this answer (make sure you choose the right python directory - you should have python36 or python37)

Python scripts are interpreted, not compiled. You just need to grab python from it's official website and then run it with python3 <your script file> from the command line.

Got it to install, with pyinstaller, do i need the modules installed that are in the script?

 

I followed that answer you sent me, but it still comes out with this.

Otherwise, you don't typically compile Python scripts, you run them through an interpreter.

Or py2exe if you are on windows or py2app if you are on mac. Both are pretty easy to use.
