    I’m happy if it’s actually running in python and not a javascript app with electron.

      Idk, it’s rare for an electron app to literally not even run. Meanwhile I’m yet to encounter a python app that doesn’t require me to Google what specific environment the developer had and recreate it.

        I think with pyenv and pipenv/UV you can create pretty reliable packaging. But it’s not as common as electron, so it’s a pain.

        With a properly packaged python app, you shouldn’t even notice you’re running a python app. But yeah, for some reason there’s a lot of them that … aren’t.
