Perfect -- and that's using Python more as a "library". So providing a
Framework build is a good thing for these uses. Though I wonder if there's
a need for a pre-built one with an installer --wouldn't folks using XCode
be able to built it themselves? But either way, this isn't a use case for
conda, or brew or ....

Also, there's no reason that a "PythonFramework" couldn't be a
separate package in conda -- you just wouldn't want to have all the other
Python-y stuff depending on it. If you are embedding the interpreter, you
are managing all the the dependencies anyway.

Now someone just needs the time to do it :-(
