Description

AppImageKit can be used to bundle the Python interpreter, libraries, modules, the payload Python application and any resources such as icons, fonts, graphics, etc., into a single executable file for Linux. The single executable file is loop-mounted when executed using FUSE, and the payload Python interpreter is executed.
