How to run a script dependency based python packages on a pendrive?
To run a Python script with its dependencies from a pendrive, you can follow these steps:
Set up a Python virtual environment: Create a virtual environment on your pendrive to isolate the dependencies of your script. Open a command prompt or terminal and navigate to the root directory of your pendrive. Run the following command to create a virtual environment:
bashpython -m venv myenv
Activate the virtual environment: Activate the virtual environment by running the appropriate activation command for your operating system. The commands are different for Windows and Unix-based systems:
Windows:
bashmyenv\Scripts\activate.bat
Unix-based systems (Linux/Mac):
bashsource myenv/bin/activate
Install dependencies: With the virtual environment activated, use
pip
to install the necessary dependencies for your script. Run the following command to install a package (replacepackage-name
with the actual package name):bashpip install package-name
Repeat this command for each required package.
Copy your script and dependencies: Copy your Python script along with any additional Python packages (located in the
myenv\Lib\site-packages
directory) to your pendrive.Run the script: Open a command prompt or terminal and navigate to the directory where your script is located on the pendrive. Activate the virtual environment by running the appropriate activation command from step 2. Then, run your script using the Python interpreter:
bashpython your_script.py
By following these steps, you can run a Python script along with its dependencies from a pendrive by utilizing a virtual environment. This ensures that the script's dependencies are isolated and can be easily transported and executed on different machines without conflicting with other Python installations or packages.
