The shiv-generated self-contained runnable Python binaries install Python libraries into the user's ~/.shiv directory. These are tied to the release of a given Handprint executable. Currently, nothing removes them after they are first installed (unless the user knows about it and removes them manually). It is possible to include a preamble where code can be added to do some cleanup, and the shiv documentation includes an example of how.

Future releases of Handprint should do this to avoid bloating users' ~/.shiv.
