  • [Python-announce] PyEmpaq 0.4 released

    I'm happy to announce the release of PyEmpaq 0.4.

    PyEmpaq is a simple but powerful Python packer to run any project with
    any virtualenv dependencies anywhwere.

    With PyEmpaq you can convert any Python project into a single `.pyz`
    file with all the project's content packed inside.

    That single file is everything that needs to be distributed. When the
    final user executes it, the original project will be expanded, its
    dependencies installed in a virtualenv, and then executed. Note that
    no special permissions or privileges are required, as everything
    happens in the user environment.

    Both the packaging and the execution are fully multiplatorm. This
    means that you can pack a project in Linux, Windows, MacOS or
    whatever, and it will run ok in Linux, Windows, MacOS or whatever. The
    only requirement is Python to be already installed.


    What's new in this version?

    - Remove the installation if ephemeral behaviour is indicated
    ([related issue](https://github.com/facundobatista/pyempaq/issues/63))

    - Allow to change the location where the files get unpacked ([related issue](https://github.com/facundobatista/pyempaq/issues/62))

    - Dump a file with unpacking related metadata in the project's
    directory ([related issue](https://github.com/facundobatista/pyempaq/issues/61))

    - Refactored the project's install directory name to include the
    Python version and more specifics ([related issue](https://github.com/facundobatista/pyempaq/issues/58))

    - Alert at pack time if any indicated requirement file is excluded
    from the included files.

    - Log (and transmit when ending the unpacker itself) the return code
    of the executed project ([related issue](https://github.com/facundobatista/pyempaq/issues/64))

    - Migrated to the `platformdirs` library to detect the user's data
    directory. ([related issue](https://github.com/facundobatista/pyempaq/issues/60))


    For more details please [check the documentation](https://pyempaq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) (which
    includes demos and examples). The project [exists in Github](https://github.com/facundobatista/pyempaq/).

    Enjoy,
