Solution 1

You don't.

Python is interpreted by the Python runtime, when you type "python myscript.py" it converts it into bytecode (pyc) and then runs it in the background. This has to happen each time you run a python script, so whoever you give the script to runs it just like you would.

I haven't found any native image generators for python, since Python requires the runtime to be installed on the client system.

Basically it is correct, but I know at least one open-source product which produces Windows executable files, please see my answer. I vaguely remember I heard of something else but did not try anything...

Solution 2

Unlike Ron, the author of Solution 1, I know at least one product used to produce executable files for Windows, called py2exe:

Good luck,
