    Architecture

What is FlavorPack?

FlavorPack transforms Python applications into self-contained executables using the Progressive Secure Package Format (PSPF/2025). Each package contains the application code, Python runtime, dependencies, and a native launcher - all in a single .psp file.

Key Features: - Single-file distribution - Cryptographic security (Ed25519 signatures) - Smart caching with validation - Cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows) - Zero dependencies required - Native performance (Go/Rust launchers)

Quick Example

# Package a Python application
flavor pack --manifest pyproject.toml --output myapp.psp

# Run the packaged application (no Python required)
./myapp.psp

# Verify package integrity
flavor verify myapp.psp
