Nuitka is actively maintained and support for 2.6 and 2.7. It is the work of a single guy, and I have never used it, so I don't know much about it. https://nuitka.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

This is a good place to mention https://nuitka.net/ which aims to compile python programs into standalone binaries. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

For Python, you could make a proper deployment binary using Nuitka (in standalone mode – avoid onefile mode for this). I'm not pretending it's as easy as building a Go executable: you may have to do some manual hacking for more unusual unusual packages, and I don't think you can cross compile. I think a key element you're getting at is that Go executables have very few dependencies on OS packages, but with Python... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

There is already an AOT compiler for Python: Nuitka[0]. But I don't think it's much faster. And then there is mypyc[1] which uses mypy's static type annotations but is only slightly faster. And various other compilers like Numba and Cython that work with specialized dialects of Python to achieve better results, but then it's not quite Python anymore.

Feedback to author: The diagram and explanation took a beat longer than normal to scan, since this buries a bit that it's not about the beautiful source control system called fossil shipped as a composition of modules: https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki Great diagrams, so of course that's the first thing a reader will skim. People biuld things based on git all the time, the diagram looks like... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

There are (all too rare) tools that back those objects with git as well. And there's always fossil ... https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki But it's not git. :-(. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

I don't think git should be the infrastructure of collaboration. It's good for long-lived artifacts, but isn't good for discussion, for rights management, ... Fossil (https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/index.wiki) is of course better, but if git must remain, I believe the base infrastructure should be the mailing list. Patches, branches and releases can live inside a mailing list, it is naturally built for... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

> To make things more complicated, they also use their a relatively niche version management system instead of git. Which would complicate making contributions (if they accepted them). The Fossil VCS actually has a page explaining why it was created, instead of just using Git: https://sqlite.org/whynotgit.html Honestly, a lot of those points make sense, especially how Git is perhaps a little bit more complex and... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
