How to use zipapp to bundle Python applications

The video tutorial discusses the ZIP app standard in Python, which allows for the distribution of Python programs as standalone packages. It explains the process of creating a ZIP app and highlights its limitations, particularly the difficulty in including third-party modules. The tutorial introduces Shiv, a library that extends ZIP app functionality by allowing the bundling of third-party modules. However, Shiv also has limitations, such as requiring the same Python version and operating system for distribution. The video concludes by summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of these tools in Python program distribution.
