Plus you can build a single static binary in Python using nuitka (http://nuitka.net/). Ok it's static against the python dependencies but dynamic against libc for the linux build, but I've never had to deploy to a server without libc.

And if you know all your servers have the same Python version and your code is pure Python, you can even forget that and do a .pex (https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex), which a the Python equivalent of Java .war : a zip that embeds all the program and dependencies. It's light, fast, and problem free basically.
