I have a python3 app that I have written I need to install on a production, linux, server. For various reasons, this linux installation is very barebones. It will not have any version of python. It will not have Docker or anything similar. I don't know why that is the case, but those are my requirements. How can I deploy my python app to this server so it will function.
I had a few ideas:
I am going to play with this last option and see if it works.
You could compile the .py file to an .exe file with the nuitka compiler use pip install nuitka
and then you can compile the .py with nuitka --onefile --disable-console main.py
you can try to leave out the --disable-console if you need the console. The Nuitka compiler doesnt compile like Pyinstaller by just packing the python interpreter. Nuitka compiles using gcc meaning c code. The .exe is then not obfuscated but actually compiled.
Here is a proper youtube tutorial for Nuitka: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2aHkuBCLN8
