How can I create a Python executable program that doesn't force the user to actually download Python libraries and that stuff in order to be executed?

Question

Let's say that I already built a program that essentially takes some images from an user's path and make new ones using the following libraries/modules:

os itertools pandas PIL

What I need now is to make that program become an executable file that can be actually executed without having to have installed the Python environment and the libraries used in the code, because the user would not know how to code, and would not likely matter how the code works.

The program would run on Windows OS (PC) only , and would use the cmd.exe as the interpreter and medium for user inputs and results display.

Solved here You can use wheel, and ship whole environment.

@Vincent Caeles: "@rh979 a wheel is not meant to have all dependencies. Subsequently you could do pip install path/to/wheel.whl --target /path/to/some/folder and zip the contents of the 'folder' to have all your dependencies in the zip archive and ship that to the environment where you want to run your code. "

Another options is pyinstaller library, according to documentation it should do what you need.

Do you know if ```pyinstaller``` does the same? – NoahVerner Dec 29 '21 at 18:34

Good point according to documentation seems to be the solution. But no personal exp with this lib. – Peter Trcka Dec 29 '21 at 18:39
