I am currently experimenting with PyInstaller https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html which will compile a platform-specific binary (executable) for the CLI

PyInstaller creates a binary which takes multiple seconds (on Mac > 10 s) to unfold and execute. This is probably not feasible to roll out to users.

Next attempt: https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer This creates huge binaries which execute very fast (~ 500 ms)
