Nuitka is an optimizing Python compiler written in Python that translates Python programs into C and produces standalone executables or extension modules with full CPython compatibility. It supports Python 2.6-2.7 and 3.4-3.14 and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Use cases
- compile python script into standalone executable
- package python app as onefile binary
- speed up python program performance
- protect python source code from reverse engineering
- build python extension module in c
- distribute python app without requiring python install
When to choose
- you need to ship a Python app as a native executable with no Python runtime install
- you want faster startup or runtime performance while keeping full Python compatibility
- you want to obfuscate or protect Python source code
When to avoid
- you need a quick, simple packaging solution and don't want a C compiler toolchain
- you rely on heavy runtime introspection or tools that patch CPython internals
- your project requires a permissive license, since Nuitka is AGPL-3.0
