Well I thought something like this but then again wondered whether this 
really would be the cause - after all, Thunderbird, Firefox, OpenOffice, 
Java and a bunch of other applications that are available as "binary" 
downloads for "generic Linux" do seem to work on RedHat/CentOS, Debian, 
Ubuntu without these issues. Are these all statically built? Would this 
be an option for distributing Python applications, as well?

Or, other option: Would it work to, say, use venv, make sure there 
always is a Python of the same version on the target machine installed 
(say 3.4), and then distribute "just" the python parts without including 
the interpreter / binary itself?

Thanks in advance and all the best,
Kristian
