- Produces self-contained, highly-portable Python distributions with a full-featured Python installation including most standard library modules, with dependencies either distributed or statically linked.
- Built to minimize run-time dependencies by limiting CPU instructions and shared libraries, aiming to work on any system for the targeted architecture.
- Some distributions include build artifacts and metadata, allowing downstream repackagers to derive custom Python distributions (e.g., without SQLite or OpenSSL) for embedding in larger binaries, supported by the PyOxidizer project.
- The PyOxy sister project enhances these distributions with Rust code to create single-file executables providing a full-featured Python interpreter.
