Question

I use nuitka compile my python code, but compile time is very slow, can anyone have good idea to solve this?

Answer 1

It's nearly impossible, you can try puttin --standalone instead of --onefile option to disable onefile stuffing up, which takes some extra time. But then you end up with a folder, whatever you do with it.

Answer 2

It is quite possible that 30 minutes is a reasonable compile time for your program and you may not be able to go faster, but here are some ideas to try:

1. Remove unnecessary code like test loops or outdated (or never fully implemented) features
2. Remove unnecessary packages and modules
3. If you are using a large package like numpy to do one little thing, try to find a way to do what you need to do without the large package
4. If you see any anti-bloat warnings, see instructions here to remove unwanted modules: https://nuitka.net/info/unwanted-module.html
5. Read about --nofollow-import-to in the manual. This can remove unnecessary code by specifying exactly what should be excluded. https://nuitka.net/doc/user-manual.html
