Does zipapp automatically bundle dependencies, or do you need to specify that somehow? Also, how does this handle native extensions?

for bundled deps, see shiv or pex.

https://pex.readthedocs.io/en/v2.1.49/
You still need the host to have a base python interpreter.

pip install --target to download your deps then use shiv
This means that you can zip your entire project, including deps, into a pyz file, and ship that to your serveur as one big archive and run it like you would a .py file. It makes deployments very easy.
It also means you don't have to worry about using dependancies in quick scripts: use as many as you want and bundle them!
A tool exists to create the bundle easily and make it extract itself on first run for better perfs:

Is that instead of the zipapp module.
