indygreg/PyOxidizer v0.6.0

0.6.0

on GitHub

This is a relatively minor release. The full changelog is at https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/stable/history.html#version-0-6-0.

Meaningful changes in this release are:

• The pyembed crate is now published on crates.io and can be used like any other crate.
• We now use the upstream cpython crate instead of a fork of it.
• Embedded Python interpreters can now be configured to run a file (in addition to executing code, a module, etc).

This release also lays the groundwork for different Python distribution flavors. The goal of this work is to support other Python distribution types instead of the highly opinionated statically linked distributions we currently require. For example, we want to eventually support using existing Python distributions discovered from the filesystem as well as distributions that use more traditional dynamic linking. These features will materialize in a future release.
