eGenix PyRun - One file Python Runtime

with support for Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7

INTRODUCTION
Our new eGenix PyRun combines a Python interpreter with an almost
complete Python standard library into a single easy-to-use executable,
that does not require a system wide installation and is fully
relocatable.
eGenix PyRun's executable only needs 11MB, but still supports most
Python application and scripts - and it can be further compressed to
just 3-4MB using upx.
Compared to a regular Python installation of typically 100MB on disk,
this makes eGenix PyRun ideal for applications and scripts that need
to be distributed to many target machines, client installations or
customers.
It makes "installing" Python on a Unix based system as simple as
copying a single file.
We have been using the product internally in our mxODBC Connect Server
since 2008 with great success and have now extracted it into a
stand-alone open-source product.
We provide both the source archive to build your own eGenix PyRun, as
well as pre-compiled binaries for Linux, FreeBSD and Mac OS X, as 32-
and 64-bit versions. The binaries can be downloaded manually, or you
can let our automatic install script install-pyrun take care of the
installation: ./install-pyrun dir and you're done.

NEWS
This is a new minor release of eGenix PyRun, which comes with updates
to the latest Python releases and includes a number of compatibility
enhancements.
New Features
------------
* Upgraded eGenix PyRun to work with and use Python 2.7.6 per
default.
* Upgraded eGenix PyRun to use Python 2.6.9 as default
Python 2.6 version.
install-pyrun Quick Installation Enhancements
---------------------------------------------
Since version 1.1.0, eGenix PyRun includes a shell script called
install-pyrun, which greatly simplifies installation of eGenix
PyRun. It works much like the virtualenv shell script used for
creating new virtual environments (except that there's nothing virtual
about PyRun environments).
https://downloads.egenix.com/python/install-pyrun
With the script, an eGenix PyRun installation is as simple as running:
./install-pyrun targetdir
We have updated this script since the last release:
* install-pyrun now defaults to installing setuptools 1.4.2
and pip 1.4.1 when looking for local downloads of these tools.
