Thin Client vs Full Compiler

When to use pyvorin-thin and when to install the full pyvorin package.

Published May 30, 2026

Thin Client

  • Lightweight (~1MB)
  • Remote compilation via API
  • Best for CI/CD, laptops, containers

Full Compiler

  • Includes LLVM toolchain
  • Compiles locally
  • Best for air-gapped environments

Switching Between Them

Use --local-native flag with the thin client to invoke a locally installed full compiler when available.
