Well yes you would argue, you did. That doesn't make your argument true or important.
- busterarm 5y agoSorry, but at this scale of systems and how often you're replacing hosts, it's absolutely critical that you always have a deployable. That's not provably true in the Python ecosystem (unless you're insane and vendoring all of your dependencies separately for every single application you deploy). At the end of the day what you need is a statically linked binary. There are tools like cx_freeze and Nuitka that try and get you there but ultimately aren't worth the effort and give you other problems to solve as well. Or you could use cython, but again, more problems. You're simply better off using a language that reduces your (business) risks from the onset. I'm sorry that that makes you feel bad, but that's facts and anyone working at this scale will tell you so. We pretty much only deal with Python where we have to (in the ML space). If a company is really stubborn about it though it's often better to just not take those jobs.
