> Python stdlib will let you package a C extension. I am not sure why you think the opposite. http://docs.python.org/extending/index.html http://docs.python.org/extending/index.html But c-extensions aren't put into the same package so you still have to include the shared object files yourself so it's not really a package. One of the best things about the JVM's jar is that you can pack all your other jars into one jar for deployment. > If you mean it's not relocatable, there's a new option for this: (--relocatable) "In theory virtualenvs have a --relocatable flag but that one is heavily broken and conceptionally can't work properly because it uses the system Python interpreter to switch to the intended environment." http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2012/6/22/hate-hate-hate-everywhere/ http://lucumr.pocoo.org/2012/6/22/hate-hate-hate-everywhere/ > pypi.python.org Yes, it's great, but I'm talking about the standard library. I really wish some of the worse parts of it would be improved or removed.
