If it's worthwhile for poetry to support generate executable and self-contained python zip archives(zipapp)?

[innerNULL]

Hi, recently I'm thinking about that if poetry can support building zipapp (ref to 28.4. zipapp — Manage executable python zip archives and PEP 441)，with this feature, when submitting jobs to clusters such as spark is much more convinent for poetry-building projects~

Maintainers somewhat have this feature in mind. I could not find a specific dedicated ticket on this though, but here are somewhat related tickets:

• Bundle command implementation #2682
• Build packages with pinned dependencies from .lock file #2778
• Wheelhouse Generation #2873
• Build packages with pinned dependencies from .lock file #3341

Our group decided to use shiv to create the zip archives. You can also check that out. At current stage, unfortunately, to communicate the python environment specification with our collaborators and even within our group needs this tool...

Ah yes, if you are open to 3rd party tools then shiv is a good one. There is also pex. And I wrote zapp that has very limited features but works well enough for very simple projects (without C extensions, etc.):

• https://pypi.org/project/shiv/
• https://pypi.org/project/pex/
• https://pypi.org/project/zapp/

@sinoroc haha for now, I'm using a trick that 1st execute poetry run which python to get the virtual python env path, and then I can copy and archive the whole path as a zip file and using this zip when running some jobs on clusters such as spark : )
