Almost a year ago, I started producing binary executables of Poetry, a package manager for Python. Here is a technical deep-dive on how why and how I made it.

Here is where the PyOxidizer project by Gregory Szorc comes super-handy. To quote the project description:
But how does it work? Once you installed PyOxidizer on your system, everything starts with a Starlark file:
If you look at the patches in my repository, we can make some observations:
an Homebrew formula
In case you're starting a new project and you're comfortable with Python, rather than a compiled language like Rust, and you can write code which will respect PyOxidizer requirements from line zero, sure, why not? This is what I did with noir.
