Description

Hello,
For the generated zipapp to be fully standalone, is it technically possible to ship the full Python interpreter along? This way you could deploy your app on environments with different or no Python interpreter.

Research direction

Start by reviewing shiv’s zipapp construction and the PEP 441 constraints mentioned in the issue. Determine whether bundling a full Python interpreter is feasible for the intended deployment environments; done would require a concrete scope and implementation plan, since the issue names no files, tests, or acceptance criteria.
