Question about portable python

Hi Carlos! I am currently working on creating a portable python for all macos users to use a software I am creating at an academic lab I work at so they don't need to install python separately on their own. I successfully created a pkg file which downloads to the user's Downloads folder which works on my own device but there is a SSL module error when used on a different device. I was wondering if you encountered this issue before and could give some guidance about it. Thank you very much!

The error I get:

The script I run to use the portable python

ve() {
    local venv="virtual_env_ant"
    echo "running install virtual env"

    echo "Creating and activating virtual environment ${venv}"
    # virtualenv ~/[${venv}]
    sudo -u $USER /Users/my-device-username/Downloads/portable_python/bin/python3.9 -m venv $HOME/${venv} --system-site-package

Steps I used to create the portable macos python: cd /Users/my-device-username/Downloads

git clone --branch v3.9.12 https://github.com/python/cpython.git

cd cpython

chmod -R 777 .

Create new folder in downloads called portable_python /configure LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/xz/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/xz/include" --prefix=/Users/my-device-username/Downloads/portable_python

make

make install

cd .. (Back to Downloads folder)

pkgbuild --root ./portable_python --identifier com.example.package --version 0.2.13 --install-location "$HOME/Downloads/portable_python" portable_python.pkg
