Add Portable Python Bundles on MS Windows

Open christian-korneck opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

What is this Python project?

This is a technique for creating Portable Python Bundles on MS Windows. Bundles are like venvs - but are self-contained and path-independent. An alternative to venvs and executables created with PyInstaller.

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones?

It's a convention that fills a gap for packaging and distributing Python environments and applications on MS Windows. Bundles have the advantages of being a full Python environments - similar to venvs - , so you can install packages with pip, use them in an IDE, etc. But Bundles are also self-contained, path-independent and portable to other Windows machines similar to PyInstaller-created single executables.
