Starting with the bonus question: pyenv [LINK] allows to install (almost) arbitrary python versions alongside the current environment. Install pyenv by $ curl -L [LINK] | bash Activate with export PATH=$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH eval "$(pyenv init -)" eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)" Install Python 3.5.3 [LINK] $ pyenv install 3.5.3 Downloading Python-3.5.3.tar.xz... -> [LINK] Installing Python-3.5.3... Installed Python-3.5.3 to /home/snakebite/.pyenv/versions/3.5.3 and activate export PYENV_VERSION=3.5.3 Packaging for CGI deployment I didn't know much about python packaging before, it always felt confusing. There might be reasons for that.... Good reads are A Curriculum for Python Packaging [L

Does Ruby have a capability to archive all dependent gems and application code in a file like Python's PEX? To implement Python PEX [LINK] , Ruby needs a feature like python's zipimport [LINK] , which the current version of Ruby doesn't seem to have. But PEX looks very interesting [this video] if we have for Rails and other usages. So my question is "Does Ruby have PEX like feature?" If not how can i implement it?

I want to round up this question by suggesting a couple of ways to deploy Python Script or Models: Docker : This is one of the most popular ways of hosting scripts and deploying Machine Learning Models online. You can use Docker to containerize the code and host it as a microservice using different apps. PEX : PEX [this video] is a clever tool being developed at Twitter that allows Python code to be shipped as executable zip files. AWS : Using AWS, you can create a free account and get started with hosting/deployment. A lot of resources are available online. PYSimple, Pyinstaller, and Sparrow : As mentioned in the answers above, we can use these packages also to do the task. Please read above. Fl
