Quite the opposite, distributing a Python binary is one of the most popular demand in the community, along with better multiple core and a JIT.

It used to be packaging and V2/V3, but those are fading away now with wheels everywhere and 3.4+ being the new love affair. Python has been in the habit of improving every year, steadily for 28 years, solving the problems the community asked every time.

How is that the opposite? :)

It just means that there are a lot of folks who stay on Python, but want better deployment. That's great, but we don't see those who simply move away from Python (and use Electron with a Rust backend for example, or go full web + maybe native Android/iOS apps).
