#2096 Introduce PAR support / add an option to ship a PEX with Python included. Issue created by jsirois With the advent of scies, Pex's can now be shipped as standalone native executables with the Python interpreter included without much effort. If Pex were to incorporate this feature, it might be spelled like:

--par {eager,lazy}

This would cause Pex to generate one or more binaries using scie-jump that either directly include the appropriate PBS Python archive or else lazily fetch it using ptex. The fiddly bit here will be selecting an appropriately matched PBS per Pex target Python / abbreviated
