The problem is reliance on third-party libraries coupled with absence of
usable package management system. It will "generally" run within the
same major interpreter version unless it imports a package that got
updated by some other python app on the system.

This is why containers are such a big deal: they're the only safe way to
have 2 python applications on the same host. (Coincidentally, I hear
docker's written in go and singularity recently got rewritten in go.)
