### Python scripts

It is (lightly) suggested that `Python` scripts be converted to standalone
executables via [Pyinstaller](https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller).
This clarifies what version of `Python` is required by the script
([2.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/) or
[3.5](https://www.python.org/downloads/)). It also resolves all of the
scripts library dependencies (eg. `numpy`, `biopython`) so that the
user can make sure they are installed before running the application.
This is readily accomplished via Pyinstaller-`spec` file,
[OptiType](packages/optitype/optitype.1.0.0/files/OptiTypePipeline.spec)
provides a good example.
