PEX

What is PEX?

Pex is a tool for generating Python virtual environments that are self-contained executable files. This makes it easier to distribute and run Python applications, particularly when dependencies need to be managed. It bundles the application code, its dependencies, and the Python interpreter into a single .pex file. These files are often used for deploying Python applications or libraries, especially in contexts where traditional package management and virtual environment setups are complex or restricted.
