What on earth is Pyinstaller? PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. The user can run the packaged app without installing a Python interpreter or any modules. PyInstaller supports Python 3.6 or newer, and correctly bundles the major Python packages such as numpy, PyQt, Django, wxPython, and others. ID: 105869 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Then I guess you have to get hold of the non-existant people at Rosetta and persuade them to use it! ID: 105893 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Any news on this one ? The PyInstaller developers released a new major version, the 5.0 with a lot of new features and bugfix. But the game is on the R@H's developers field.

I.e. do the work for them and send the method back? I expect they are all contracted to do specific work based on funding etc which this would fall outside of.

I expect they are all contracted to do specific work based on funding etc which this would fall outside of. I successfully built earlier versions of Rosetta. I could work with you again to look at it. I saw two problems with the Python build. It demands 2.8gb of memory for each work unit and it compresses and saves 1gb+ of files to disk. I had to replace a SATA SSD with an M.2 to get enough write speed. I added memory and PrimoCache in write-back mode to reduce the write traffic to the disks. It cleared up my Rosetta problems with Python ... other than the not being able to run as many tasks. ID: 106178 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

I did not expect any response. dcdc has been quite responsive in the past, but the developers can't be bothered. The new Python application does more than take 3gb of memory per task. It also chews up your disk drives by checkpointing too frequently. Most of the problems and stalls are related to checkpointing. A checkpoint option on the preferences would help. cheers ID: 106308 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
