Nuitka is the optimizing Python compiler written in Python that creates executables that run without an need for a separate installer. Data files can both be included or put alongside.
It’s fully compatible with Python2 (2.6, 2.7) and Python3 (3.4 – 3.11).
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Source-to-source compiler which compiles Python code to C source code.
- Applies some compile-time optimizations in the process including constant folding and propagation, built-in call prediction, type inference, and conditional statement execution
- Accepts Python code compatible with several different Python versions.
- Supports virtually all of the features of the Python language.
