[PyInstaller|https://pyinstaller.org/] is a program used to batch up a python program into a single executable. See the web site for more info about it.
Customers using PyInstaller run into problems with it when using embedded python because PyInstaller tries to pack up the iris library, which needs to run from the IRIS installdir.
This library shows how (at least in Linux) to avoid packaging iris and to tell the resulting packaged installer to use it from the iris insatlldir.
- Make sure that iris is installed and the environment vars are set correctly. Example Dockerfile provided be sure to run it like this
docker run iris-embedded-pyinstaller --check-caps false - Install python3
- Install pyinstaller
pip3 install pyinstaller - Install the libraries used in this example
pip3 install tqdm colorama
You should now be able to python3 irisbench.py successfully.
PyInstaller needs to be told to ignore the iris library and to run a bit of code to add the right directories to the python path at runtime.
- Build the package
/home/irisowner/.local/bin/pyinstaller irisbench.py --exclude-module iris --runtime-hook=runtimehook.py - Run the package
dist/irisbench/irisbench
That's it!
