XAR is a toolchain for packaging Python applications into self-contained executables (XAR files). It creates a single-file, executable archive that bundles all dependencies and runs with the system Python. The current version is 20.12.2, released in December 2020. The project appears to be in maintenance mode with infrequent releases.

Known issues

gotchaXAR files require Python 3.5+ on Linux or macOS. They do not work on Windows.

fix

Ensure deployment targets are Linux or macOS with Python 3.5+.

affects: all

gotchaThe XAR format does not support cross-platform execution. Archives built on Linux will not run on macOS or vice versa.

fix

Build XAR files on the target platform.

affects: all

deprecatedThe 'xar' command-line tool is deprecated. Use the Python API instead.

fix

Use the Python API from xar import XarFile instead of the xar CLI.

affects: 20.0+
