As usual with extensions, you are not using Python anymore, but a compiled language. To get 100% certainty, you'd need to compile the whole thing.

That being said, a lot of extensions are pre-compiled and provided as wheel, which is the case for tensorflow (I don't know for CUDA, I can't test on a laptop without a GPU).

Let's see what this means:

    $ py -m venv test
    $ test\Scripts\activate
    $ pip install tensorflow
    $ code hello_tensor.py
    # import tensorflow as tf

    # def main():

    #     with tf.compat.v1.Session() as sess:
    #         a = tf.constant(3.0)
    #         b = tf.constant(4.0)
    #         c = a+b
    #         print(sess.run(c))

Now with shiv:

    $ copy hello_tensor.py test\Lib\site-packages
    $ shiv -e hello_tensor.main --site-packages test\Lib\site-packages\ -o hello_tensor.pyz
    $ python hello_tensor.pyz
    ...

    7.0

So it works fine, but remember:

- it will only run on the system this particular wheel has been designed to run on. In my case cp38-win_amd64.

- it will come bundled with tensorflow, which is a behemot, meaning your hello world pyz will around 500 Mo.

- it needs to unzip, so the first run will be REALLY slow

For something like this, I would advice a more generic deployment tool, like fabric 2 if it's remote, or a make-like tool such as doit if it's local only.

Make your deployment script, and zipapp that.
