How to create a single binary without dependencies

See original GitHub issue

0.6.5
Python: 3.7.4 (default, Aug 13 2019, 20:35:49) 
Executable: /home/ryan/.miniconda/bin/python
OS: Linux
Arch: x86_64

Conda environment for Python, Nuitka installed via pip.

I’ve been looking through the documentation, but I don’t quite see the options I am looking for. I have a source tree with a single entry point (main.py) and a bunch of other Python modules nested below it. I want to produce a single binary with all of the Python files included, but I don’t want to include any conda/pip dependencies or the Python interpreter itself.

How can this be done?

@kayhayen Any ideas? Nuitka only seems to produce .so files for the top-level package instead of all of the children packages below the top-level.

There is plenty of documentation in the user manual about modes, standalone and distutils integration. This is not for helping people who struggle with reading. Should something be missing in the docs, then raise an issue.
