# 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.
