[!WARNING] This project is no longer being updated. You can now find ready-to-use Manylinux Python AppImages on the python-appimage project. The latter project also makes it easier to build basic Python apps.

A Python plugin for linuxdeploy

For developers

This is a plugin for linuxdeploy. It helps building lightweight Python based AppImage applications by bundling a minimalist source distribution of Python inside an AppDir. Extra site specific packages can be bundled as well using pip, E.g. binaries from PyPi. Specific instructions for building and configuring the image are located on the wiki.

For users

Ready to use AppImage distributions of Python are provided in the downloads sections below or in the release area. A one liner example is:

wget -cq https://github.com/niess/linuxdeploy-plugin-python/releases/download/continuous/python3.8.2-x86_64.AppImage && chmod u+x python3.8.2-x86_64.AppImage && ./python3.8.2-x86_64.AppImage

which will install and run a Python instance. See the instructions on the wiki for more detailed usage.
