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://shiv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

https://pex.readthedocs.io/en/v2.1.49/

You still need the host to have a base python interpreter.

Carefull though, pex doesn't work on windows

pip install --target to download your deps then use shiv
