Questions tagged [pyz]

.pyz is the file extension dedicated for self-contained Python applications in a zip archive.

Python can run applications from self-contained ZIP files. They usually carry a file extension of .pyz for console tools or .pyzw for graphical programs, as specified by PEP-441.

They're similar in use to Java files, or Perl , and PHP archives.

  • However, they don't even require a manifest.

  • A __main__.py entry module is all that's needed for Python to run a ZIP application.

There are however tools to simplify building them:

  • zipapp as standard module in Python 3.5
  • pyzzer basically a zip frontend to inject a python #! shebang
  • makepyz from the original feature request
  • pex goes slightly beyond the plain ZIP format, can bundle whole distributions
