> Statically linking the world isn't trivial. For our existing Python code bases - how are you going to deal with third party libraries from PyPI?
Depends on what you want?
You could freeze the pip-requires to always install the same version and use a virtualenv per application. This is basically the same as bundling everything together, it has all the benefits with the least amount of work.
You could use distribution packages for security, correctness and stability or even roll your own repository inside your infrastructure to absolutely control everything.
Finally you could just bundle everything manually by fooling around with the PYTHONPATH and putting all the dependencies in a single directory. This is kind of like improvising your own virtualenv, it's very hacky, but it can work.
