There are several approaches here. One is to get your users to run things in a virtualenv. see:https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/ and https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ This works really well, but you have to have users who are capable of setting up a virtualenv in the first place. You will still run into problems of 'my shared library is different from your shared library'. YOu can also use PyInstaller (which you may have used to make windows binaries) to make linux ones. I've never done this, only made windows ones -- but that is what it says on the label. https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki I think you will still have to have a set of different files to download for different linux distributions, but I could be wrong about that. And if that problem is unacceptable, then you need docker. https://www.docker.com/ I've just started playing with it, and I think it is really neat, but it is too soon for me to have any clue what the problems/tradeoffs are with it.
