Hi Stefan,
Well, the idea is similar to package tools like pyinstaller or
cx_freeze. There approach is slightly different then what I intend to
do here.
You have to pass the name of the script to python executable("python
main.py") in order to execute it. What I mean here is to create python
executable using python executable source code only(not compilation of
entire python using source code) and insert "main.py" contents in
source code(hardcoded) and produce a new executable.
When you run that executable, it should run the "main.py", which was
hard coded while building using fixed string or any other method. The
executable is actually a modified version of python executable. It
won't take any argument because we'll rip that piece of code out.
Hope this will clear out.
Cheers
prashant
