Wow, very cool. This sounds like a lot of existing projects but done in a much cleaner fashion.

If it was mentioned, I missed it, but I’m really curious to hear how things like cffi, etc. end up working. It may, with work, be possible to statically link CPython extensions, but cffi seems like a whole new packaging problem.

To avoid the X-Y problem, I’ll state a high level goal. Let’s say I want to release an application using PyQt. Can PyOxidizer handle this in any way today? In the future, does PyOxidizer plan on handling any more of the problem? Since existing Python packaging infrastructure doesn’t attempt to answer problems like this, it’d be awesome to see new initiatives that do.
