PyOxidizer is a Rust-based tool for packaging Python applications into self-contained binaries that embed a Python interpreter and all resources. It can produce single-file executables or libraries for embedding Python in Rust applications.
Use cases
- distribute a python app as a single executable file
- embed a python interpreter in a rust application
- ship a python program without requiring python installed
- convert a python project to rust incrementally
- build statically linked python binaries
When to choose
- you need a single-file, dependency-free executable of a Python application
- you want to embed Python inside a Rust codebase
- you want to incrementally migrate a Python app to Rust
When to avoid
- you just need simple zipapp or wheel distribution
- your project depends on C extensions that are hard to statically link
- you need actively developed tooling with broad ecosystem support
