Description

It seems cool to be able to do something like python kinto.pex :)

We could attach the .pex file on the releases page

Research direction
Investigate how to use the pex tool (https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex) to create a .pex file for the Kinto project. Look at the current release process in the repository (e.g., release scripts, CI configuration) and determine how to integrate building and attaching the .pex file to GitHub releases. Reference any existing release infrastructure and consider documentation updates for users.
