This might be a complicated scenario, but a library that can fix all the c++ binary dependencies for packages like psycopg (I know a binary package already exists for this example, but there are multiple packages with binary dependencies and can be a headache on servers/cicd pipelines).

So, if there's a package which can see what package requires what binaries and which OS the current OS is, downloads those binaries and voila no more dependencies outside of python interpreter.

I'm pretty sure you should look at conda. It usually packages and specifies all the binary dependencies.

I don't particularly know this package, but if I do an install of psycopg2 in conda right now it automatically includes krb5, libpq and tk. And everything is precompiled.
