Usage

Compiling and Packaging

To compile and package your Python source code into a .pydll file, use the following command:

pydll /path/to/your/source_directory output_package.pydll

This command will:

1. Compile all .py files in the specified source directory.
2. Create a ZIP archive containing the compiled files and required dependencies.

NOTE: when packaging a library make all the import statments reroute to the Lib dir

Loading a PyDLL Package

You can load a PyDLL package using the LoadPyDLL function:

import pydll

# Load the default __init__.py module
module = pydll.LoadPyDLL('path_to_your_package.pydll')

# Load a specific module (e.g., 'QtWidget')
module = pydll.LoadPyDLL('path_to_your_package.pydll', specific_module='QtWidget')

Example Usage

After installing the pydll package, you can run it from the command line:

pydll /path/to/your/source_directory output_package.pydll

This will compile the Python files and package them into a .pydll archive.
