I see an opportunity. Other applications with complex requirements have taken the tack of putting all of that together in one package in order to give a perfect "out of box" experience. Flatpack, appimage etc. are the answer.
Developers wouldn't use them as their environment (or environments) would be prepared by themselves. But non-developer users would benefit immensely ZeroInstall allows cross-platform distribution of the application and ALL of the prereqs/dependencies for a one-click experience on all platforms. https://0install.net/features.html 500mb takes approximately five minutes to download on my crappy satellite internet. For most people, it would take less than that. This approach would NOT be the answer for developers or those who live to run down python/Qt/pyQt, user/system pip/pip3 problems. Download, unpack and execute, all under the control of the packager and not at the mercy of whatever environment is currently in place. Chris On Sat, Feb 9, 2019 at 3:34 AM Edward K.
