NoPy2Exe: Native Python Script Execution with PowerShell

NoPy2Exe is a PowerShell script that allows you to directly execute Python scripts on Windows without needing to bundle them into stand-alone EXE files. This avoids the hassle, increased complexity, and larger file sizes that come with converting Python code to executables.

Key Features

• Automatically installs Python and sets up a virtual environment
• Handles all dependency installation requirements
• Activates the virtual environment transparently
• Executes target Python scripts natively from PowerShell
• Easy customization of Python version and scripts

NoPy2Exe dramatically simplifies deploying and running Python scripts - just point it at your code and go! No more troublesome exe wrapping getting in the way.

Getting Started

To use NoPy2Exe, simply download start.ps1 and execute:

.\start.ps1 -ScriptName your_script.py

By default, NoPy2Exe is configured to:

• Scan C: and D: drives for existing Python installations
• Install Python 3.11.7 if not found
• Create a .\venv virtual environment
• Install all dependencies from requirements.txt
• Execute a script called main.py

See the help docs in start.ps1 for additional default values.

Limitations

• Requires Windows and PowerShell to run
• Requires admin rights when installing downloaded Python version to the system
