Yeah, many of the ruby applications I've seen recommend RVM so that you can isolate yourself from the system-installed version of ruby. That's the nice thing about go - each application carries around everything it needs to run in total isolation from the rest of the machine.

Except for libc, of course.

By the way, you can actually do the same for Python using cx_Freeze; it'll create a single executable with Python + libraries + you code.

I should just stop making assumptions about python and assume that if there's anything you ever would like to do with python, that someone has already built it :)
