This (and learning stdlib better) is precisely why on a Python project of mine, the only external dependency is a C shared library to run some parts faster than Python can (making giant arrays of ints and shuffling them). I bundle precompiled libraries for the architectures I have available, so you don’t have to make if you don’t want to.
