How do you set up a python project to be able to send to others without them having to manually copy and paste the code into an editor

Question

I made a cool little project for my friend, basically a timer using tkinter, but I am confused on how to let them access this project without having vscode or pycharm. Is it possible for them to just see the Tkinter window or something like that? Is there an application for this? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Do you want to share the source code with them (you could use git for this), or simply share a packaged application? — NicholasM, Dec 18 '20 at 05:10
there is the executable way or the online demo method, what you prefer. — Avatazjoe, Dec 18 '20 at 07:38

You can just built an .exe (Application) of your project. Then just share the application file and anyone can use the application through .exe. You can use pyinstaller to convert your python code to exe.

pip install pyinstaller

then cd to the project folder then run the following command

pyinstaller --onefile YourFileName.py

if you want to make exe without console showing up then use this command

pyinstaller --onefile YourFileName.py --noconsole

You can run python Tkinter demos online here [link](https://repl.it/languages/tkinter), so you can avoid to prepare a specific executable package for every OS. And then share it – Avatazjoe Dec 18 '20 at 07:36
