pexify - Package Python scripts using PEX

Sometimes you'd like to publish a simple Python script, but it depends on some external packages (e.g. requests). The usual solution is to create a package, which is a great solution but requires some work and might not be suitable for internal packages.

Another solution is to use PEX, which creates an executable virtual environment. The user running the script just needs a Python interpreter from the same version installed on their machine (which is usually the case).

Converting a script to PEX requires some work, to make this simpler I wrote pexify. which automates the process of creating a PEX from a single Python script.
