I have a Python 2.7 script that uses BeautifulSoup4 and requests modules.
The issue is, that I need to deploy this script on a machine to which we can not directly install any new modules/libaries via pip install or anything else.
We can copy this script and any files it needs to run to that machine, but we can not directly install any modules.
I have tried PyInstaller, PEX and Nuitka to create an executable file or a bundle (in any format, for example .zip) so that we can copy the entire file or bundle into the machine and run the python script from there, without the need to do pip install or installing the modules manually via Wheel file. All without success.
Environment details:
Target machine on which the script needs to run: RHEL-based Linux OS with Python 2.7.
My development machine: Windows 10 but I also have access to Fedora Linux machine both with Python 3 and Python 2.7.
The import section of my script looks like this:
from __future__ import with_statement
from __future__ import absolute_import
import requests
import re
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from io import open
Can someone, please, help me out here?
We have the script ready to be deployed, but we are not able to run it in our target machine because of the missing modules/libraries.
Thank you very much
EDIT:
Mentioning this since it may not be clear at first - we do not have the issue with a network connection or anything of this gender. We were prohibited to use pip install or a manual method of installing a module. Therefore, we can only bundle the modules directly with the script or something so that would not need to directly install the modules on the target machine itself.
