The lack of Ruby support instantly rings an alarm for me because CPython (on POSIX) also is not relocatable, but is listed as support. Turns pit Hermit is actually using a third-party build script[1] instead of the official one. While the python-build-standalone project is quite awesome and indeed useful for a lot of things, it has enough quirks I would recommend against any generic package distributor to advertise it as Python for general use. This in turn makes me lose most confidence on Hermit, unfortunately.
Be careful if you’re also interested in Hermit. These kinds of things bit you up way down the road when you least expect them to.
