From egenix-announcements at egenix.com Fri Dec 6 10:52:55 2013 From: egenix-announcements at egenix.com (egenix-announcements@egenix.com) Date: Fri Dec 6 10:53:07 2013 Subject: [eGenix.com] ANN: eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime 1.3.1 Message-ID: <52A19E77.6090804@egenix.com> ________________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCING eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime Version 1.3.1 An easy-to-use single file relocatable Python run-time - available for Linux, Mac OS X and Unix platforms, with support for Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-PyRun-1.3.0-GA.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Our new eGenix PyRun combines a Python interpreter with an almost complete Python standard library into a single easy-to-use executable, that does not require a system wide installation and is fully relocatable. eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 11MB, but still supports most Python application and scripts - and it can be further compressed to just 3-4MB using upx. Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk, this makes eGenix PyRun ideal for applications and scripts that need to be distributed to many target machines, client installations or customers. It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as copying a single file. We have been using the product internally in our mxODBC Connect Server since 2008 with great success and have now extracted it into 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. Please see the product page for more details: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS This is a new minor release of eGenix PyRun, which comes with updates to the latest Python releases and includes a number of compatibility enhancements. New Features ------------ * Upgraded eGenix PyRun to work with and use Python 2.7.6 per default. * Upgraded eGenix PyRun to use Python 2.6.9 as default Python 2.6 version. install-pyrun Quick Installation Enhancements --------------------------------------------- Since version 1.1.0, eGenix PyRun includes a shell script called install-pyrun, which greatly simplifies installation of eGenix PyRun. It works much like the virtualenv shell script used for creating new virtual environments (except that there's nothing virtual about PyRun environments). https://downloads.egenix.com/python/install-pyrun With the script, an eGenix PyRun installation is as simple as running: ./install-pyrun targetdir We have updated this script since the last release: * install-pyrun now defaults to installing setuptools 1.4.2 and pip 1.4.1 when looking for local downloads of these tools. For a complete list of changes, please see the eGenix PyRun Changelog: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/PyRun/changelog.html For a list of changes in the 1.3.0 minor release, please read the eGenix PyRun 1.3.0 announcement: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-PyRun-1.3.0-GA.html Presentation at EuroPython 2012 ------------------------------- Marc-Andr?
