Re:Underappreciated challenges with Python packaging by uranusjr on Sunday January 08, 2023 @03:13AM (#34297141)
Correct, but the challenges are to compile the dynamic library correctly so it runs on another machine, and on a given target machine choose to load a correct compiled artifact. Python has extremely good support for those compared to other similar ecosystems. The fact that most Python packages decide to do bundling on a comparably broard set of platforms, while packages on some other language are not, is a window to understand how the operation is made much easier by the ecosystem.
