Not just python scripts, you can package any C code as well. We've used it to compile up a "python.com" APE file with a python 3.11 interpreter that has lots of packages (including C extensions) that we can just drop straight into old airgapped lab instrument computers and get a modern python data analysis suite up and running.

That sounds very interesting! I probably could hack it together myself, but do you happen to have a writeup on that, or maybe some pointers on how to include the numpy-scipy stack into the executable?

Now integrate Shedskin the Python compiler. :)

Thanks, TIL. Now we can combine this with the xlcalculator package and transpile models built in Excel right down to C code and build it as a portable executable.

That's both terrifying and wonderful and I hope to see a write up of it on the front page one day :)
