Download and install packages from executables

[nisha narkhede]

Dear Team,

I would like to create a standalone executable which once executed it should download and install packages in specified directory. How can we do it with pyoxidizer?

Thanks,

There are a few approaches to this.

One is to write Python code to perform these actions and then produce an executable with PyOxidizer that runs that Python code. Python's standard library has packages (like urllib) that can retrieve files via HTTP.

The other is to write Rust code that runs in addition to the Python interpreter in the built executable. This is documented at https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rust.html and https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rust_porting.html#getting-started.

Does this information help?
