Just an idea... how hard would it be for PyInstaller to separate the Python
that is executing now, from the Python that it bundles in the target?

Right now, there is an assumption that the interpreter binary and all
standard lib and site-package imports for the target, must come out of the
same Python that is executing PyInstaller.

Would it be possible instead, to have a --python-path=<path> option, and
the interpreter binary and all standard imports that go into the target
bundle would come from <path>? (*)

That way, PyInstaller running under Python 2.7 could actually bundle a
Python 3 (or Python 2.3) program. This might give an early bridge to Python
3, which now looks to be much delayed...


(*) Maybe this would mean that the imports would have to be bundled as .py
sources, not byte-compiled?
