You can have single binary deployment with Python.

Yes, but every time I tried it, it always fails me with some obscure error that I run away from it with bitter memory(why did I do this in Python!?!). If it is not a priority for the language, I’ll rather choose a language which cares about it.

Most people don't, though. They provide some install instructions using pip in their README, and IME these barely ever work without modification.

How? Are there reusable tools for this now?

I've used PyInstaller at least. Pretty sure there are others as well.

I found the success rate of this very low and it’s very hard to automate this for all platforms.

I've never really used Python, but as a consumer of tools, I don't recall ever coming across a Python tool packaged as a binary - so it might be possible, but dose anyone actually do it?
