You could containerize your python. That's like having a fat binary.

yes, you can do that. I've been doing that for around 8 years now.

And no, it's not the same. Not even remotely. The only thing that helps with are quick and easy deployments.

The thing which makes maven special is the ease of producing artefacts for deployments, not the final step of starting it up on the server.

Python doesn't require creating artifacts. It requires dependency resolvement which Docker is perfect for.
