Funny story: at my workplace we solve the distribution problem by
placing both the Python interpreter and applications on a network
share.  I have inherited a program that nonetheless is stored on the
network share as a pyInstaller bundle because it is (perceived to be)
faster to transfer a single .exe over the network during start-up than
all the individual files on demand.
