Alternative ways to make xonsh binary or similar

mypyc is used by mypy and black (latest version) for various optimisation. I wonder how does it compares to nuitka

mypyc/mypyc#546 (comment) :

Mypyc and Nuitka make quite different tradeoffs, and I doubt there is much either project can directly reuse from the other. Mypyc does not aim at full Python compatibility and almost entirely focuses on speeding up type-annotated code. Nuitka takes Python compatibility much more seriously but still doesn't have much support for type annotations, as far as I know. To join forces, some compromises would probably have to made. We are happy to discuss any concrete proposals.

@anki-code I found PyOxidizer interesting. It can static link and compile modules to be loaded from memory.

Someone tried to use PyOxidizer here indygreg/PyOxidizer#245
