Warning
This project is no longer being updated. You can now find ready-to-use Manylinux Python AppImages on the python-appimage project. The latter project also makes it easier to build basic Python apps.
This is a plugin for linuxdeploy. It helps building lightweight
Python based AppImage applications by bundling a
minimalist source distribution of Python inside an AppDir.
Extra site specific packages can be bundled as well using pip, E.g. binaries
from PyPi. Specific instructions for building and configuring the image
are located on the wiki.
Ready to use AppImage distributions of Python are provided in the downloads sections below or in the release area. A one liner example is:
wget -cq https://github.com/niess/linuxdeploy-plugin-python/releases/download/continuous/python3.8.2-x86_64.AppImage && chmod u+x python3.8.2-x86_64.AppImage && ./python3.8.2-x86_64.AppImage
which will install and run a Python instance. See the instructions on the wiki for more detailed usage.
