How to run an executable file (.exe), which will be the program code, from memory without saving to disk?

  1. I have an .exe file stored as bytes. It was obtained using open('1.exe', 'rb').read().

  2. I put the byte literal in the Python code of a script: byteCode = b'\x00\x00\x00\...'.

  3. Now I need to run this executable. But from memory, without saving to disk.

    Based on this, it dosen't appear to be very easy. Writing to a temporary directory and running it from there seems easiest. Commented Jul 6, 2019 at 18:33

    Is it a Win32 exe? What OS are you using/targeting? Why do you have to execute it from memory not disc? Why not just run 1.exe? Commented Jul 6, 2019 at 18:34
