Nuitka Downloads
General
Thank you for downloading Nuitka. This is the standard edition, free and open source. Please also consider becoming a Nuitka commercial subscriber for IP protection features.
IP Protection / Performance / Python
Three pillars make Nuitka the best platform to deploy your application: IP Protection for commercial users, Performance for every program, and Python compatibility you can rely on.
Protecting your IP is critical to your business success. Do not allow competitors, malicious clients, or exploiting customers to easily steal your work. Nuitka Commercial offers a full array of tools that make Python the best platform to deploy your application.
No source code, no bytecode - only a compiled binary that cannot be easily reversed.
Program constants and data are obfuscated so they are not readable in the compiled program.
Your data files are embedded as part of the program constants and protected that way.
Tracebacks and program outputs are encrypted, so only you can decode them.
Exclusive commercial-only features and plugins on top of the standard Nuitka offering.
Feature Rich - So Many Things Cannot Fit Here
Windows, macOS, Linux, and many more targets from a single compiler.
Bundle your code, dependencies, and data into a single executable.
Support for a wide range of Python versions, including older and latest releases.
Create self-contained distributions that do not require a Python installation.
Compile to extension modules and programs, not just executables.
Compatible with nearly all Python packages out of the box.
A rich plugin system to handle complex frameworks and integrate with your workflow.
Priority support and commercial features available for professional users.
Integrate Nuitka into your existing build system with setuptools support.

Nuitka Standard vs Nuitka Commercial
The standard edition is what you download here. It lacks features that commercial users might want for IP protection. Nuitka standard bundles your code, dependencies, and data into a single executable, accelerates your program to run faster in the same environment, and can also produce extension modules.
Nuitka Commercial
The commercial edition additionally protects your code, data, and outputs, so that users of the executable cannot access these. This is a private repository of plugins that you pay to get access to. Additionally, you can purchase priority support.

The current release is Nuitka 4.2. Stable releases are supported with hotfix releases, indicated by the third version number, e.g. 4.2.1 is a hotfix of 4.2.
Note
Stable releases are the recommended choice and work reliably for production use. Develop releases are pre-releases of the next stable release; they are generally stable too, but may occasionally break.
Note
Package builds may lag behind a release by a couple of days.
