> Many users of these distributions might be better served by the PyOxy sister project [1]. PyOxy takes these Python distributions and adds some Rust code for enhancing the functionality of the Python interpreter. The official PyOxy release binaries are single file executables providing a full-featured Python interpreter.
From that readme, it seems PyOxy has a few related uses:
- It can produce a single file executable representing a Python app including the interpreter
- It can ship self-contained Python interpreters and related to be embedded or used as a library in a larger application
- PyOxidizer can serve as a bridge between Rust and Python - "PyOxidizer can be used to easily add a Python interpreter to any Rust project. But the opposite is also true: PyOxidizer can also be used to add Rust to Python."
