Well it seems much sooner. I have just discovered PyOxidizer <https://pyoxidizer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/status.html>, a tool to turn any Python application into a single executable on Windows, Linux or Mac. According to the author, he was new to Rust programming language and started this project in December 2018. For about six-seven months he made quite a lot of progress. Personally I haven't tried it yet, but it is on my short-term list. According to the documentation it is possible to pack binary extensions too, as well as porting parts of the application in Rust. The resulting executable starts faster than Python interpreter and all Python code is pre-compiled and executes without copying, therefore imports are much faster compared to ordinary Python interpreter (which needs to search file system for modules and loads files at runtime). What surprised me the most is that ATM there are no GUI libraries for Rust that are production ready. I've found several interesting projects but all of them are still alpha/beta versions or even abandoned or deprecated. As if Rust is more suitable for writing back-ends?! I really don't see why. After all Rust is a general programming language. Rust build tools are excellent. Installing any Rust version is one command line in Linux. Cargo - build tool can download all necessary files, compile them and link in a single output file (executable or shared / DLL) with just one command line.
