I am trying to compile a standalone executable from a Python project. It consists of several Python files written by me, with one Module being the "main" with the main function as the entry point. For compilation I first use Cython and then GCC. After running the tool-chain, I have an executable that I can run. However, once I move the executable out of the source folder it does not run anymore as I get a ModuleNotFoundError error. Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 12, in init main ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'common' common here is one of my programmed Python modules. I am on Ubuntu 22.04 with Cython 0.29.37. This is my tool-chain: python3 -m cython -3 {py_file_string} python3 -m cython --embed -3 -o main.c main.py gcc -Os -I /usr/include/python3.10 {c_files_string} -lpython3.10 -o {output_name} The two strings are the list of Python and C files, respectively. The --embed line is to let GCC know where the main function is. Am I missing something to get a binary that contains all the "code" of the other modules? Continue reading...
