> However, rather than use the native toolchains directly, such as Xcode for macOS, we delegated the creation of platform-compliant binaries to py2exe for Windows, py2app for macOS, and bbfreeze for Linux.

I wish the authors of more Python tools would deploy standalone applications. I do not like having to maintain various sets of Python installers/package managers (because every Python tool seems to use a different installer). Especially on cloud servers that often lack a whole set of dependencies that Python developers just seem to take for granted.

I’m not a Python developer. I don’t have the time or the inclination to repackage various tools and untangle dependencies.

Given the choice between trying to figure out how to get multiple Python tools to behave together, or using another tool, I’ll almost always choose an alternative.

I find this project: https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka very interesting, but its written and maintained only by a single person and I never got it to work with any of my apps.
