[Feature Request] Package for Pex

Opened this issue 6 years ago · 3 comments

Pex is a python packaging system builds standalone self contained executable files that includes the requirements and everything needed to run the app. It's like AppImage but for python. Using it would make downloading and using the verifier easier for most people, and it should be trival to implement

AppImage can be used for Python-based applications, too. Just sayin'.

heres a one liner command that builds a pex file of the update_verifier script, including all its dependencies. You can run it in a travis ci environment

pex -D . -r requirements.txt -e update_verifier -o update_verifier.pex

Thats true, but pex is pretty simple, as the one liner above shows
