eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime 2.0.1 GA
Introduction
eGenix PyRun™ is our open source, one file, no installation version of Python, making the distribution of a Python interpreter to run based scripts and applications to Unix based systems as simple as copying a single file.
eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 11MB for Python 2 and 13MB for Python 3, but still supports most Python application and scripts - and it can be compressed to just 3-4MB using upx, if needed.
Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk, eGenix PyRun is ideal for applications and scripts that need to be distributed to several target machines, client installations or customers.
It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as copying a single file.
eGenix has been using the product internally in the mxODBC Connect Server
since 2008 with great success and decided to make it available as a
stand-alone open-source product.
We provide both the source archive to build your own eGenix PyRun, as well as pre-compiled binaries for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, as 32- and 64-bit versions. The binaries can be downloaded manually, or you can let our automatic install script install-pyrun take care of the installation: ./install-pyrun dir and you're done.

News
This is a patch level release of eGenix PyRun 2.0. The major new feature in 2.0 is the added Python 3.4 support.
New Features
- Upgraded eGenix PyRun to work with and use Python 2.7.8 per default.
Enhancements / Changes
- Fixed a bug in the license printer to show the correct license URL.
install-pyrun Quick Install Enhancements
eGenix PyRun includes a shell script called install-pyrun, which greatly simplifies installation of PyRun. It works much like the virtualenv shell script used for creating new virtual environments (except that there's nothing virtual about PyRun environments).
With the script, an eGenix PyRun installation is as simple as running:
./install-pyrun targetdir
This will automatically detect the platform, download and install the right pyrun version into targetdir.
We have updated this script since the last release:
- Updated install-pyrun to default to eGenix PyRun 2.0.1 and its feature set.
For a complete list of changes, please see the eGenix PyRun Changelog.
Please see the eGenix PyRun 2.0.0 announcement for more details about eGenix PyRun 2.0.
