Looks promising—thanks for sharing! Is it possible to include non-Python binaries somehow? Similar to how it is done with PyInstaller with the --add-binary argument?

P.S.: It has already been mentioned, but I also find the "cowsay" example more confusing than informative. "cowsay" isn't even written in Python, but in Perl, isn't it? Maybe a simple hello-world.py example would work better :)

Thanks!

1. I view that as out of scope but you can always embed your own distribution https://ofek.dev/pyapp/latest/config/#distribution-embedding

2. https://pypi.org/project/cowsay/
