@hwine@vmst.io @slott56@fosstodon.org so you say, that the tools you recommended somehow containerize a python binary and the std modules and all it's dynamic library dependencies? do they build locally a python interpreter, or do they download a binary from somewhere on the internet?

@stf@chaos.social @slott56@fosstodon.org to be specific 1. install non-system python 2. create virtualenv for your app and install the app-specific libraries in that 3. run your app in an environment that won't change out from under you. As for building python - it's your choice of tool: - pyenv[1] compiles from source - uv[2] downloads a prebuilt binary [1]: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv [2]: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv
