Deploy

INFO

If you have used the PyTauri template generator, all files should already be configured correctly.

When you have finished developing your PyTauri application, you can build it into a standalone executable. This can then be easily distributed as an installer without having to install Rust or Python.

Installing portable python

To make the executable standalone, a version of python needs to be bundled into the project. Standalone Python versions can be found in this repository. More information on which version you need can be found on this website, though usually you will need one of the versions below.

• cpython-*-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc-install_only_stripped.tar.gz
• cpython-*-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-install_only_stripped.tar.gz
• cpython-*-aarch64-apple-darwin-install_only_stripped.tar.gz

EXPERIMENTAL

If you are in Windows and have the pytauri-cli installed, running pytauri-cli embed-python from your project root should automatically install the standalone Python at the correct place and even install your project Python package into it.

Extract the installed Python to the following location. Make sure the layout is as follows:

window

├── src-tauri/pyembed/python
    ├── python.exe
    ├── python3.dll
    └── ...

unix

├── src-tauri/pyembed/python
    ├── bin/
    ├── include/
    ├── lib/
    └── share/

Then add the following line to .taurignore to ignore it during development:

/pyembed/
