Unfortunately that's simply not the same. Python libraries many times still require header files to be present, which means on a host you want to install PyOpenSSL you must also install libssl-dev, which means you also much install python-dev... etc etc. Don't get me started on using gevent.

A container is the only sane way to package a python service, but that's not _nearly_ as convenient as a statically compiled binary.
