If it's just one .so and that library is compatible with basic libs such as glibc and has no further big dependencies, then there may be a simpler way than cx_freeze or even snap/docker/etc. Python 2 will likely be available for quite some more years as an optional package. But even with a self-compiled version, you should be able to put the required libraries somewhere and set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or maybe LD_PRELOAD accordingly. For a few depending libs, this works well, but it gets really nasty if glibc or big frameworks such as GTK are involved. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
