I have a few projects, all containing setup.py and requirements.txt. Is it possible to package a whole project in one single file including all requirements compiled and ready to install?
What I have tried:
python setup.py bdist_wheel
Builds a .whl file and puts it in the dist directory. The wheel does not contain any dependencies.
pip wheel -r requirements.txt -w wheelhouse
Builds wheels for every single requirement and puts it in the wheelhouse directory. Includes nicely compiled code for numpy for example (I know I have to build this on every platform I want it to run later on, that's fine).
Seems I am just missing the last piece of the puzzle.
You probably want to take a look at tools like cx_Freeze or PyInstaller if you absolutely want one single file containing everything. Pip itself cannot do what you want.
