Thanks for mentioning that. That's definitely what I have on my mind, actually I wanted to do long ago a Lua-esque hack of being able to cat together an interpreter and a script, so resulting executable would just run the script. What stopped me is that it would be Lua-esque-ly useless, as how much useful one can do with a bare script without dependencies? And MicroPython definitely has some puzzle pieces for a generic solution, but so far not a complete picture: 1. There're frozen modules support, but they're that - modules, packages not supported for freezing so far. 2. Then frozen modules require recompiling, and that's not real-world scalable. 3. Standard library is already "distributed" (vs CPython's monolithic), but half of modules are dummy so far. That said, making a demo of self-contained webapp server in 350-400K is definitely on my TODO list (package support for frozen modules is the only blocker for that). > Cheers, > Nick. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmis...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
