From purely a build perspective, if uv had an exposed pip wheel equivalent, it might be close enough to satisfy this request and stick to standards. On the other hand, pyinstaller
also bundles python into the mix, so it serves the different purpose by of freezing python and it's dependencies into a platform specific single binary. Definitely a wish to have something like that experience. I think once the low level tooling is flushed out, something like that can become closer to being achievable.
Hi,
One of things I have often found pip lacking has been
shiv
orpyinstaller
like functionality. It would be amazing (andcargo/rust
,go-like
if uv could build out binaries/zipped virtualenvs likeshiv
orpyinstaller
do. I realize that this might be out of scope for pip (it installs packages and does not build them?) but I think since this particular task is also packaging-centric, pip or uv should provide the feature/ability.https://shiv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/
