INTRODUCTION
eGenix PyRun is our open source, one file, no installation version of
Python, making the distribution of a Python interpreter to run based
scripts and applications to Unix based systems as simple as copying a
single file.
eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 11MB for Python 2 and 13MB for
Python 3, but still supports most Python application and scripts - and
it can be compressed to just 3-4MB using upx, if needed.
Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk,
eGenix PyRun is ideal for applications and scripts that need to be
distributed to several target machines, client installations or
customers.
It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as
copying a single file.
eGenix has been using the product internally in the mxODBC Connect
Server since 2008 with great success and decided to make it available
as a stand-alone open-source product.
We provide both the source archive to build your own eGenix PyRun, as
well as pre-compiled binaries for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, as 32-
and 64-bit versions. The binaries can be downloaded manually, or you
can let our automatic install script install-pyrun take care of the
installation: ./install-pyrun dir and you're done.

NEWS
This is a major release of eGenix PyRun. The most significant step
forward in this release is the addition of Python 3.4 support.
New Features
------------
 * Added Python 3.4 support to eGenix PyRun.
 * eGenix PyRun defaults to PYTHONIOENCODING = "utf-8:surrogateescape"
 for Python 3.4 to provide a better user experience.
 * Enabled the lib2to3 package to work with eGenix PyRun. This allows
 on-the-fly Python 3 conversions as used by e.g. the setuptools
 package to work with eGenix PyRun.
 * Frozen modules in eGenix PyRun now always have the __file__
 attribute set - unlike in standard Python This increases
 compatibility of pyrun with existing Python software. Submitted as
 http://bugs.python.org/issue21736
Enhancements / Changes
----------------------
 * Added work-around for bug in Python 3.4 modulefinder
 module. Submitted as http://bugs.python.org/issue21707
 * Added work-around for problem with logging package's use of the
 __file__ attribute. Submitted as http://bugs.python.org/issue21709
 * Added work-around for getting runpy.run_path() to work with frozen
 modules in Python 3. This is needed to be able to run packages and
 ZIP files directly from the command line. Submitted as
 http://bugs.python.org/issue21737
 * Turned our pkgutil.py patch to support frozen modules into a real
 patch instead of doing this dynamically. Submitted as
 http://bugs.python.org/issue21749
 * Removed support for Python 2.5 from eGenix PyRun.
install-pyrun Quick Install Enhancements
---------------------------------------------
eGenix PyRun includes a shell script called install-pyrun, which
greatly simplifies installation of PyRun. It works much like the
virtualenv shell script used for creating new virtual environments
(except that there's nothing virtual about PyRun environments).
 https://downloads.egenix.com/python/install-pyrun
With the script, an eGenix PyRun installation is as simple as running:
 ./install-pyrun targetdir
This will automatically detect the platform, download and install the
right pyrun version into targetdir.
We have updated this script since the last release:
 * Updated install-pyrun to default to eGenix PyRun 2.0.0 and its
 feature set.
 * install-pyrun will no longer install the latest versions of pip and
 setuptools due to recent incompatible changes in those
 packages. Instead, the script uses fixed defaults and makes it easy
 to override them.
 * install-pyrun now uses pip 1.4.1 and setuptools 2.1 per default
 instead of the latest versions for better backwards compatibility
 with packages not hosted on PyPI.
 * install-pyrun can optionally fetch the latest versions of pip and
 setuptools by using "latest" as version number for --pip-version
 and --setuptools-version.
 * install-pyrun script is now available in signed and hashed form for
 additional security.
