Is it possible to package python scripts and DSO to a APP

Questions
#1

I want an easy deployment, does it possible to create a APP including my python script and all dependent TVM python scripts and libtvm_runtime.so, libtvm.so ?

#2

Can you elaborate on your use case some more? For example if you’re just looking to create a .app that uses the TVM runtime you will have different needs from a standalone single-file program that you can copy around and run anywhere.

If you’re looking to package a Python script so you can run it more easily, standard Python tools like PyInstaller (some details on using it with C-extensions here) or others (pipx, pex) should work since the tvm Python library brings along libtvm.so/libtvm_runtime.so files (assuming the tvm library was installed to your Python site-packages directory.

Thanks @driazati for your more tips for package python scripts to a single app.

I have successfully package a simple test_py.py + tvm + libtvm_runtime.so into an single app using pyinstaller, and it runs ok. The only problem is the destination app’s size, more than 440MB (in a new created conda env).

I just want a minimum package with TVM’s RPC.

#! /usr/bin/python3.6
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-

# test_py.py

import tvm
import sys
import tvm.rpc

print('test_py.py will run...')
ip_addr, ip_port = sys.argv[1].split(':')
remote = tvm.rpc.connect(ip_addr, int(ip_port))
add_func = remote.get_function('rpc.test_add')
print(add_func(10, 20))

List of files under package directory:

  • libtvm_runtime.so
  • test_py.py # → test_py.spec
  • tvm: init.py _ffi contrib parser rpc runtime support.py error.py

Content of the test_py.spec:

# -*- mode: python ; coding: utf-8 -*-
