The ultra-lightweight Python container engine.
Docker-like simplicity for Python projects — without the overhead.
Why ship a whole Linux OS with Docker when you only need a Python environment? Pygantry packages your app and its dependencies into a portable, relocatable "Gantry" that works anywhere.
git clone https://github.com/erabytse/Pygantry.git
cd Pygantry
:: Windows (no installation needed)
1. **Init:** `pyg init --name my_app`
2. **Build:** `pyg build`
3. **Run:** `pyg run`
4. **Ship:** `pyg ship` -> Get a lightweight ZIP and send it!
- Small: 15MB vs 500MB+ for Docker.
- Simple: No daemon, no sudo, just Python.
- Portable: Move your folder anywhere, it just works.

✅ Works on same machine Fully supported
❌ Full Docker replacement Not a security sandbox — use for deployment simplicity only
💡 Philosophy: Pygantry solves deployment friction, not security isolation. Perfect for internal tools, prototypes, and edge devices where Docker is too heavy.
