... I guess I was mentally excluding compile-to-binary solutions,
thinking more about ways the user could setup something like a
virtual environment inside python. Can one easily make/distribute
something like that? Would that be less feasible/supportable than
distributing a binary? If not, 'freeze' is definitely an option.
