   Does anyone know if there is something for #Python that allows one to create stand-alone dependency-free executables a la #Nim? This would effectively solve some of the annoyance of using Python scripts that are meant to be portable.

   Er...uh...should I just learn some Nim? I had considered learning Nim a while back, but was discouraged because I saw that one of the core devs was an arsehat.

     @hyperreal it's less suited to it than Nim and I've toyed with Nim briefly and think it's pretty straightforward for scratching some itches of mine but you're always fighting with a smaller ecosystem of libraries. I wanted an HTTP client I could embed and it was painful, depended on libcurl
     
     It's hard to beat the rich ecosystem you'll have with Python so I think as long as you're doing things that don't need to pull in C/Rust based libs it should be possible to use the tools Doctor suggested
