You don't understand how the packaging of python applications works if you think the efforts of PyInstaller, py2exe, Nuitka, etc. can be this trivially overcome. This makes what is already a pain in the ass (packing a python app into a single native distribution) harder to do, for the 'cute' ability to have a single cross platform binary. ...and it is cute. Sure, I get it. ...but yeah, you just zip up all the python dependencies and it's fine? So good. Compile all the native parts or whatever, I'm sure it's easy. Look, I tell you what, you go and prove that all the smart people who've been trying to solve this for the last 10 years that there's a new good way of doing it, and they (and I) will all be very happy. Until then, this is a proof of concept for a trivial use case that makes packaging a trivial pure python application somewhat harder to do than it was already. > It is? It is not. Bundling python applications into a native binary is already a badly-solved problem with a bunch of irritating problems and caveats; this doesn't add anything meaningful to those existing efforts or fix any of the issues they have. Seriously; go and look at the efforts those projects go to, to make what they do, work.
