pex is both a library and tool for generating :file:`.pex` (Python EXecutable)
Pex is a tool for generating :file:`.pex` (Python EXecutable)
files, standalone Python environments in the spirit of :ref:`virtualenv`.
:file:`.pex` files are just carefully constructed zip files with a
``#!/usr/bin/env python`` and special :file:`__main__.py`, and are designed to
make deployment of Python applications as simple as ``cp``.
PEX files are :doc:`zipapps <python:library/zipapp>` that
make deployment of Python applications as simple as ``cp``. A single PEX
file can support multiple target platforms and can be created from standard
:ref:`pip`-resolvable requirements, a lockfile generated with ``pex3 lock ...``
or even another PEX. PEX files can optionally have tools embedded that support
turning the PEX file into a standard venv, graphing dependencies and more.
