Custom python distribution links #589

Open kotborealis opened 2 years ago

kotborealis commented 2 years ago

pyOxidizer downloads python binaries from github releases (see default_python_distributions.rs).

I want to selfhost those artifacts, is there any way to specify custom download links during pyoxidizer runtime?

indygreg commented 2 years ago

Yes, config files can specify the URL of a distribution to fetch by constructing a PythonDistribution instance from Starlark instead of calling default_python_distribution(). See https://gregoryszorc.com/docs/pyoxidizer/0.22.0/pyoxidizer_config_type_python_distribution.html.

A potential feature would be to change the root URL for the default Python distributions. Would that feature be of interest to you?

Thanks!

Yeah, such feature would be useful, for example, in air-gapped environments, where you can't download something from the internet during build.
