INTRODUCTION
eGenix PyRun is our open source, one file, no installation version of
Python, making the distribution of a Python interpreter to run based
scripts and applications to Unix based systems as simple as copying a
single file.
eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 11MB for Python 2 and 13MB for
Python 3, but still supports most Python application and scripts - and
it can be compressed to just 3-4MB using upx, if needed.
Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk,
eGenix PyRun is ideal for applications and scripts that need to be
distributed to several target machines, client installations or
customers.
It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as
copying a single file.
eGenix has been using eGenix PyRun internally in the mxODBC Connect
Server product since 2008 with great success and decided to make it
available as a stand-alone open-source product.
We provide both the source archive to build your own eGenix PyRun, as
well as pre-compiled binaries for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, as 32-
and 64-bit versions. The binaries can be downloaded manually, or you
can let our automatic install script install-pyrun take care of the
installation: ./install-pyrun dir and you're done.

NEWS
This minor level release of eGenix PyRun comes with the following
enhancements:
Enhancements / Changes
--
* Upgraded PyRun to Python 2.7.12, Python 3.4.5 and Python 3.5.2.
* Fixed rpath setting to properly include the $ORIGIN marker. Without
this, the rpath setting doesn't work.
* Added missing lzma module to default PyRun 3.x installation. Please
note that this adds an additional dependency on libzma.so.5 for
PyRun for Python 3.4 and 3.5.
install-pyrun Quick Install Enhancements
-
eGenix PyRun includes a shell script called install-pyrun, which
greatly simplifies installation of PyRun. It works much like the
virtualenv shell script used for creating new virtual environments
(except that there's nothing virtual about PyRun environments).

With the script, an eGenix PyRun installation is as simple as running:
./install-pyrun targetdir
This will automatically detect the platform, download and install the
right pyrun version into targetdir.
We have updated this script since the last release:
* Updated install-pyrun to default to eGenix PyRun 2.2.2 and its
feature set.
