Hi Laura; and first off, thanks bunches for your comment.

Your problem is likely with the shared library search paths. Different distributions put them in different places. It's a real pain, and the reason why docker is getting more popular.
Well I thought something like this but then again wondered whether this really would be the cause - after all, Thunderbird, Firefox, OpenOffice, Java and a bunch of other applications that are available as "binary" downloads for "generic Linux" do seem to work on RedHat/CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu without these issues. Are these all statically built? Would this be an option for distributing Python applications, as well?
Or, other option: Would it work to, say, use venv, make sure there always is a Python of the same version on the target machine installed (say 3.4), and then distribute "just" the python parts without including the interpreter / binary itself?
Thanks in advance and all the best, Kristian -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
