I would argue this sounds like a case for a "python_runner", i.e. a lightweight python vm that can run python apps, e.g. zipapps. Something like the blender_runner for blender. Making it explicitly an app that runs via some other engine. It would then be a central entry-point that can be updated to a later python and all the apps update with it. It would have to provide a utility for desktop shortcuts to feel like the python app was launching natively. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/GVDPNVWNGZEBKBH75OF6QBUN3YBDCEPC/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
