What's the "framework"?  If that's the entire Python interpreter and
library, installed in a way that can't interfere with whatever the
user is using for whatever *other* Python needs they have on their
machine -- that's what I'd need if I were to use something other than
the system Python.

Yes, I've got my own python program that builds .pkg installers.
