Great, but it's not clear how this is different from several other Python packagers like Pyinstaller. Any clues?

Seems comparable to Twitter's PEX: a relocatable venv with custom entry points to act as a binary. PEX also takes the zip approach but allows for not zip safe libraries by unpacking to a directory before running.
