Comment (by dstufft):

 For the record, I recently figured out how to use PyInstaller to make a
 go-lang style single file binary that doesn't require Python to be
 installed on Linux, OSX, or Windows (and I assume it would work on other
 OSs as well, but didn't actually verify that). The attempts to make things
 more user friendly might be better addressed by making an end-user
 targeted download using that (I can point you to how I achieved it, it's
 OSS) and then let the pip/virtualenv workflow be targeted towards
 developers or other "advanced" users.
