jar or exe file from Sikuli python script

Question

I just started doing some scripts with Sikuli in Python.

I would like to know if it's possible (and if yes, how) to create a jar or exe file from my python script (file .py and images).

I would like to easily run my program from other machines that do not have sikuli install (e.g., java -jar my_script.jar or my_script.exe) or give the utility to some colleagues, but I don't want that they see the source code.

Answer 1

There are many ways to convert a .py to .exe and excetra

While I believe it is possible to change the extension, the process would be much easier and smoother if you use an extension to python, like Py2exe the download to which can be found with a simple google search (I have also included a link to their site below). The program will allow you to convert the program into a .exe and will run without needing a python installation.

Here is a list of reputable and good options: http://www.freehackers.org/Packaging_a_python_program

I would personally recommend Py2exe (http://www.py2exe.org/) and the tutorial to Py2exe can be found here (http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial)
