PyRoe is a tool that acts as a static partial linker for small Python libraries that are used as helpers.
To use PyRoe, users simply need to follow some simple steps outlined in the Pyroe HOWTO guide. For instance, assuming that the main module is called frob.py and uses libraries such as libfoo.py and libbar.py, create a file named Manifest.pyroe with the command: ‘frob.py libfoo.py libbar.py’ and place it in a directory with the source files.
Once this is done, users then need to run Pyroe. Upon completion, they will find the file frob in the working directory. This file is executable, and the invocation ‘./frob ARGS…’ is equivalent to ‘python frob.py ARGS…’, without the need for libfoo.py or libbar.foo library lying around.
Users can also use Pyroe's runtime library, which is hidden inside of frob, to hijack some command-line options starting with '--pyroe-’. They may use the ‘frob --pyroe-unpack’ option to unpack back the content of the capsule to individual files.
In summary, PyRoe offers a quick and easy way to abstract code and create self-contained Python executables, making it incredibly convenient for users who have small helper Python libraries. For more information on how to use Pyroe, users can simply run ‘pyroe --help’. It is worth mentioning that the name of PyRoe capsule is always derived from the name of the first file in the Manifest.pyroe.
