Python Software You Can Use

Python packaging (particularly on Windows) is a definite pain point. That &quot;no module named zope interface&quot; is apparently due to the base Zope module not having an __init__.py. Every single time I install I have to manually add that file.<p>One of the golang attractions is the ability to quickly build a single-file distributable. The tradeoff is reduced programmer productivity.<p>In terms of &#x27;make it work then optimize later,&#x27; my latest approach has been to use eGenix PyRun (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.egenix.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;python&#x2F;PyRun&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.egenix.com&#x2F;products&#x2F;python&#x2F;PyRun&#x2F;</a>). For final distribution, compile then remove all the .py files in the tree (leaving just the compiled Python and binary dll&#x2F;libraries) and create an alias link to the executable. Not perfect, but saves hours of time building distributions.

Don&#x27;t know where the guy lives but for me cx_freeze + PySide +SQLAclhemy make a great combination to build a good desktop app on windows. It works fine, builds all the time. I can admit that I had to work a bit on it, taht&#x27;s for sure, but it does work. And the application is a small ERP, used in production every day, by a dozn of people. Tha only problems I have are my own bugs.<p>Python doesn&#x27;t need such articles, that&#x27;s for sure. If you want to use Python to write JavaScriptish web front end, then you&#x27;re just going the wrong way. Just use JavaScript and that&#x27;ll be so much easier.

I have the same feeling. Would love to use same language for everything from backend to front end .
