Definitely not. I'm thinking of something *far* more limited. Specifically, things I'm not suggesting be in the stdlib: 1. Bundling the Python binaries. 2. Stripping out unneeded modules. 3. Executables forms other than "single file". 4. Support for C extensions. I would be open to using the "embedded distribution" on Windows to ship such an executable with a dedicated Python interpreter, but unless CPython starts distributing an embedded distribution for other platforms, that's as far as I'd go.
