Need to run Python script on Unix box with no python S/W Posted: Oct 26, 2004 12:10 PM

I have created a small python script (reads data from a text file and insert/update the records based on conditions). I have written this on Windows and would like to implement this in Unix shell script/cron (for scheduling).
How can i make this script run onthat box(it has no Python interpreter installed)

Thanks,


Guillaume Taglang

By installing a python interpreter ;-)

There is py2exe existing for windows, so if you have WINE installed you may have a chance to get it running.
http://py2exe.sf.net/

Another solution: using java and jython.

Anyway, the easiest solution is probably to get a proper python interpreter installed on the box, most ot the unix-like operating systems are shipped with some python version installed this days (even MacOSX), and getting a precompiled package should be fairly easy.

Cheers,
Guillaume
