# PORTABLE PYTHON PACKAGE INSTRUCTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
To create a complete self-contained package, you need to include a portable Python interpreter.
|
||||
|
||||
## Option 1: Download Embedded Python (Recommended)
|
||||
1. Download Python 3.11 Embedded from: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
|
||||
2. Choose "Windows embeddable package (64-bit)" or "(32-bit)"
|
||||
3. Extract to a folder named 'python_portable'
|
||||
4. The structure should be:
|
||||
python_portable/
|
||||
├── python.exe
|
||||
├── python311.dll (or similar)
|
||||
├── pythoncom311.dll
|
||||
└── ... (other Python files)
|
||||
|
||||
## Option 2: Use PyInstaller (Alternative)
|
||||
1. Install PyInstaller: pip install pyinstaller
|
||||
2. Run: pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole print_service_complete.py
|
||||
3. This creates a single .exe file with all dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
## Option 3: Manual Python Installation Check
|
||||
The installer will check for system Python and use it if available.
|
||||
|
||||
## Current Package Structure
|
||||
This package includes:
|
||||
✓ Complete Python script with all dependencies
|
||||
✓ Windows service installer
|
||||
✓ Chrome extension
|
||||
✓ Logging and error handling
|
||||
✓ Multiple printing method fallbacks
|
||||
✓ Automatic recovery options
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies Included in Python Script:
|
||||
- All standard library modules (http.server, json, subprocess, etc.)
|
||||
- No external dependencies required
|
||||
- Pure Python implementation
|
||||
|
||||
The service will work with any Python 3.7+ installation.
