I am using boto3 library from PyPI to communicate with AWS. What is the best way to package this dependency within a self-contained .exe (using pdeploy)? Or is it even possible to do it with packp3d?
One way I thought of is to copy all the boto3 source files and include them in my repo, but seems a bit hacky. What would be the best way to do this?
Yeah, copying is easy and foolproof. Alternatively, I think it might also work to add the directory containing boto3 to the packp3d sys.path using the -p command-line option.
We are about to replace packp3d with a new setuptools-based deployment system called deploy-ng, which makes it easier since it can automatically pick up PyPI dependencies from your requirements.txt file.
Alright I’ll copy paste then 
Great to hear that support for requirements.txt is coming. When is the estimated release?
Hopefully before the end of the year.
