Playing with this and virtualenv, I figured out that this way it's pretty easily possible to have isolated Python environments _locally_. However I failed to package one of these environments and move it to, say, from my Ubuntu development host to a remote Debian server, I end up with errors like these while trying to run the Python off the environment on that host: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found I bundled all the stuff in the virtualenv and also made sure to dereference the symlinks in there. Are Python binaries so closely tied to a particular Linux environment / distribution that what I am about to do is impossible? Is there a "generic" Python for Linux binary that works on all distributions, as things are for Java? TIA and all the best, Kristian
