How can I get a binary from a .py file












4















I need a program to compile python source code; as I found out at first I need to make a binary file from my python script.



I've already checked a lot of links, but still I haven't found something for Linux.



I found py2bin for OS/X, but there are no versions for Linux.

In my opinion your problem in Google stems for calling a compiler capable of producing binaries from python a "disassembler".



I have not found a true compiler, however I have found in Google a python compiler packager, which packs all the necessary files in a directory, obfuscating them, with an executable frontend: pyinstaller at http://www.pyinstaller.org/ ; it appears to be actively supported, as the last version 3.4 which was released on 2018-09-09, contrary to py2bin which seems to be not actively maintained.




Features:




  • Packaging of Python programs into standard executables, that work on
    computers without Python installed.

  • Multi-platform, works under:

    Windows (32-bit and 64-bit),

    Linux (32-bit and 64-bit),

    Mac OS X
    (32-bit and 64-bit),

    contributed suppport for FreeBSD, Solaris, HPUX,
    and AIX.

  • Multi-version:

    supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.3—3.6.




To install:




pip install pyinstaller


Then, go to your program’s directory and run:



pyinstaller yourprogram.py


This will generate the bundle in a subdirectory called dist.

    pyinstaller doesn't compile python programs, it just pack so that the result package can be used like a binary package. So practically an extractor and execution of normal python. (it use pyc, so simple reverse engineering is difficult, but a tools that change identifier should also be used, if reverse engineering is to avoid).

    I doesn't know. On older time, there where a python to C (+compiler) (py2bin is so old, so maybe...). Cython could be a solution, but I doesn't know if and how the code should be modified (so it will be no more pure Python).
