For scientific/statistical software, I kept running into issues with large monolithic executables, dependency headaches, and inflexible packaging. So instead of using PyInstaller, I experimented with a standalone portable Python runtime approach:embedded Python, preinstalled scientific, stack modular packages, offline execution, user-extensible with pip I’m currently using it for a survey/statistics workflow platform I’ve been building. Curious whether others here have gone down a similar route for scientific desktop apps. submitted by /u/AdventurousCreme7049 [link] [comments]
