You might want to convert it to an exe file, it would be in binary then – marsnebulasoup Jun 09 '19 at 18:11

You can run this command
python -m py_compile fileA.py fileB.py fileC.py
It will compile all 3 named files. Replace fileA.py, etc. with your python files.
Afterwards you can run it with python just like usually.
