The actual binary format will be the same regardless of extra info shared together with the actual code. That was my point, so it honestly does not matter for any sufficiently complicated product how it's shipped.
The problem is the incentives, people don't WANT to share that data with you.
And there are very good reasons to not ship an application as plain python, the biggest problem is all the dependencies that that requires. And the impact that has on the user.
- James_K 3y agoThe binary format is always the same, you need to get to machine code at some point. The difference is how you get there. > it honestly does not matter for any sufficiently complicated product how it's shipped. I think this opinion is in deep disagreement with the facts. Among the most popular and influential computing technologies, you have Java and WWW. Both are entirely based around shipping code in better format than binary.
