Python's Achilles heel, this is what caused me to walk away from Python. I usually make short very specific programs and I work on multiple of sites. Python was a pain to make executables. I now try to use Racket for everything and it makes executableson Windows, Linux and Mac.
Has things really improved the last 2 years?
- nly 9y agoIt's not a python specific problem. I work on a native app on 3 platforms and have had the same distribution pains.
- zbentley 9y agoI've seen people use Docker for this purpose, even on Mac/Windows. Personally, that seems a bit like using a howitzer where a flyswatter will do, especially since a lot of performance gains are going to be negated by Docker's virtualization on Mac and Windows.
