[python-win32] Using relative python path in exe files generated by `ScriptMaker`

[Glyph]

Hi Ilya,

The main solution here is "don't do that".  You can build binary wheels and share them between machines, but venvs are not meant to be shared.  I just posted about this the other day: <https://mastodon.social/@glyph/113608175894598083>.

Wny are you trying to copy a venv from one machine to another?
