[PyQt] [pyqtdeploy] Feature Request: Ability to embed resources and static files into shared library

[Ilya Kulakov]

I mean project to generate shared library from shared python modules and executables from non-shared modules.

Imagine a project that has multiple tools which re-use many of the same python and application modules. It would be a waste of space to embed all that shared data into each tool executable.
