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
