For shadow IT, anything that requires "installation" vs. being in the base system or being added as a file to a project is an inconvenience.

It's why I like using Bottle for small Python frontends: download the file and import.

(I'm ranting based on personal experiences with IT in the past. Yes in general virtualenv is the baseline)



Compile python to executable is always an option.


If you're dealing with a managed system, chances are, compilers are banned. You'll have to be unsafe and work outside the constrained environment - potentially violating policies, contracts, regulations and laws.
