The core reason I didn't try this for myself when I first saw it was that I saw rather than a sane, modern language like 🕸 Node or 🦕 Deno or 🐹 Go or 🦀 Rust, this relies on 🐍 python. 😱

Anyone who has used python knows that it's scary - installing a different version is bound to screw up your Linux installation, or your macOS installation, or probably even whatever code you have working on Windows.

Since the people aren't coming here most likely aren't using python - and if they have used python are afraid of the problems that they may run into - this deserves to have a primer for something like:

how to install python in a way that this will work, and that won't screw up any existing python things on your computer

Preferably that would be a binary bundle that includes python and this code, and not need any python changes. Something like http://www.pyinstaller.org/ or https://www.py2exe.org/, perhaps?

Agreed. It would be really good to have a binary bundle available. I'll close this issue when the first binary bundle is added.
