Therein lies python’s biggest weakness. You effectively are containerizing the runtime to be sure your code will work. This is why languages like C++ are compiled to platform executable or why Java has byte run code (or whatever it’s called).
- IshKebab 7y agoTo be fair even with C++ you have to distribute some dependencies, e.g. MSVCRT. It's just that that is a lot easier and more efficient than distributing a copy of Python with every program that uses it, which is what currently happens on Windows.
- mkup 7y agoThere's no need to distribute MSVCRT dependency if CRT is linked statically (/MT or /MTd C++ compiler option vs /MD or /MDd C++ compiler option).
