<p>The python ecosystem has changed a lot over the last year, especially with respect to tooling. The usage of <a rel="external" href="https://rust-lang.org">Rust</a> has opened new, very fast, and by now very popular tools that aid in linting (<a rel="external" href="https://astral.sh/ruff">ruff</a>) and package management (<a rel="external" href="https://astral.sh/uv">uv</a>, <a rel="external" href="https://rye.astral.sh">rye</a>). But what tools are there if you want to share your python applications with colleagues that do not use python?</p>

<p>One of my favorite radio shows is <a rel="external" href="https://radiolab.org/">Radiolab</a>, which always presents the listener with an interesting scientific question from across the board. In a recent rerun, Radiolab discussed <a rel="external" href="https://radiolab.org/podcast/91684-stochasticity/transcript">Stochasticity</a>. Something struck me as odd...</p>

<p>Let's calculate how many atoms are in a SiC stardust grain and use python to do so!</p>
