I was more concerned with the portability concerns that were raised. But I guess we relied on dirname before and introduced realpath. So the dependency on non shell builtins was...

Python's startup time is horrible and it inflicts real pain on the ecosystem. However in this case we're talking about supplementary tools like `pip`, not `python`. `pip` is already super...

We currently don't use a modern LLVM toolchain for Linux aarch64. As a result we won't get the same optimizations from PGO or LTO. It may just work though since...

Let's limit this conversation to PyOxidizer. Open an issue against the python-zstandard project to discuss its future.
