    How often are you writing scripts that accidentally require a specific minor version of Python 3 to run? If you have dependencies, 1) you’re no longer scripting, and 2) you need to manage your runtime environment anyway.

      Runtime environments can change often, if you need to install your application on a ton of PC’s you don’t want to install python version 3.X on all of those instead you could just compile it into a native binary, pip is the most unsafe hell

        If you’re compiling a native binary you DEFINITELY aren’t in scripting territory anymore.
