Hi,
I am new to Python and I wanted to understand something...
The EVE Online Client is build using Stackless Python
So when I install the client on my machine, how doe sit get run if I do not
have Python installed?
We call it "freezing" the program. There are several tools that do
this with py2exe being the most popular. These tools create an
executable that includes a bundled python interpreter along with all
the scripts and modules needed to run the program.
Bundling Python with an app adds a few megabytes, depending on how many
modules are included. For a 10K script, that is a big nuisance. For a
100M+ app, it is trivial.
While I have not yet tried Eve, both for lack of a good enough machine
and fear of having my life sucked away, it has been a positive for
Python. Beyond the publicity, Eve is a pretty good stress test, and they
have contributed a few bug reports and patches back to the core.
