📄 Description

What is this Python project?

AppImage - Bundles applications into stand-alone executables including the Python runtime, modules, libraries, and resources (Linux)

What's the difference between this Python project and similar ones

Providing an AppImage has, among others, these advantages:

  • Works for most Linux distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
  • One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
  • No unpacking or installation necessary
  • No root needed
  • No system libraries changed
  • Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
  • Optional desktop integration with appimaged
  • Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
  • Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
  • Works on Live ISOs
  • Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages. For example, Ultimaker Cura is a PyQt application distributed in AppImage format for Linux.
