So I guess the main differences are that this makes it easy to use a
newer version of Python than existed at the time Xenial was released.
I suspect I could also build a Python 2.7 snap using the same
techniques, if you want to go in the other direction.

The Python in my snap is also set up to automatically use packages
included in your own snap without fiddling with environment variables
or sys.path.
