Unix命令行程序中的Python模块

Question

I wrote a python script that acts as a Unix command line argument (if it's saved in the working directory).

If I downloaded external modules to use in this script, would someone on the same network (who doesn't have this module installed on their computer) still be able to run the script from their computer? If not, how can I get around this?

Thanks in advance... Please let me know if there's anything I can clarify about my question.

If you import third-party modules in your script, then whoever runs it needs to have those available.

The Python solution would be to make your script into a package that has a setup.py that specifies scripts and also requires your dependencies. When someone installs the package using python setup.py install or a package manager, it will put the script into a directory on the path, make it executable and adjust the shebang line for the local environment.

Eg:

from setuptools import setup
setup(
    name='name',
    version='1.0.0',
    scripts=['myscript_filename'],
    install_requires=['other_module'],
)

Note that a different system, entry_points is now recommended over scripts but it requires a different format - see the docs.
