Plain Python?

trying to get to plain python, to reduce overhead for new users to install
got stuck on macOS not having dbm support (which we need for Shelf)
- does Shelf support a different db that would be more available

Deployment Options

continue with plain python
Dockerize
- Docker is easy to install, yay!
- concern about resource overhead of running Docker
- concern about having to docker run containers via command-line
- Docker free edition update policy?
switch to Node?
- don't want users to have to run native Node
- could ship an Electron app
  - but is Electron resource hoggery better than Docker?
- need to rewrite into Javascript
  - Python on Electron framework
