Download Go binaries instead of packaging them up
Closed this issue · 1 comments

Currently, we package Go binaries for all supported target OSes with the Python package to allow for easy installation of all dependencies.
While this is convenient it has some technical challenges (see #3) and increases the Python package size significantly (currently 53.7 MB).
Expected result
Evaluate whether it makes sense (and is technically possible, in a clean way) to download the necessary Go binaries upon installation of the Python package.

Package size is definitely smaller now (currently 8.5 kB). 🎊
Go binaries are downloaded lazily and installed locally before they're need the first time.
