Surely there's tools to bundle python apps? I'm not as familiarized with the python ecosystem, but with node you can use browserify or webpack to bundle an app into a single JS file, or pkg [0] to generate a single executable.
Some languages have even more powerful tools for that sort of deployment. One of the best examples I've seen is distillery [0], an Elixir package which allows for hot upgrades. That means you can just copy a single a file and upgrade without having to take anything down.
