PyApp is a Rust-based wrapper that packages Python applications into standalone executables which bootstrap their own runtime and dependencies at first launch. It supports self-update commands and configurable runtime behavior for distributing Python apps to end users.

Use cases

• distribute a python application as a single executable
• build standalone binaries for my python cli tool
• package python app so users don't need python installed
• add self-update capability to a distributed python app
• ship python software to non-technical end users
• create cross-platform installers for python programs

When to choose

• you want to distribute Python applications as standalone binaries across platforms
• you need self-updating executables for your Python tool
• you want users to run your app without installing Python or dependencies themselves

When to avoid

• you need a fully frozen binary with no runtime bootstrap or network access on first run
• you only need to package a library for PyPI rather than an application
• cold-start latency from runtime installation at first launch is unacceptable
