The set of apps is laid out like this:
app/
main.py
... other .py files ...
subapp1/
subapp1.py
... other .py files ...
subapp2/
subapp2.py
... other .py files ...
We want (in one directory):
main.exe
subapp1.exe
subapp2.exe
... shared DLLs ... (msgpack, zmq, etc)
... etc ...
where main.exe will execute subapp1.exe and subapp2.exe at runtime.
main.exe and the two subapps share a lot of libraries like pyzmq, msgpack,
etc.
subapp1.py and subapp2.py are never imported by main.py - they are always
sep. processes.
There are no dynamic imports.
We would like one-dir bundling.
