Just send them the new exe file. But if you expect updates to be performed regularly consider adding the auto-update logic to your program using the PyUpdater library

Put your version of the program on a file share, or make it otherwise available in the internet and build in an update check in the program. So that it checks the URL for a new version everytime it is started. I guess this is the most common way to do something like that.
