mainWindow.mainloop()

The above program is a game called Tic-Tak-Toe. I am able to run the program on IDE without any error.

This is the program that i want to run on windows or linux or any other platform without using the IDE or command line, just like other application such as word, execel , halo 3(game) etc. How can I do it ?

You need to target an operating system and create an executable file. For example you could create a c program that calls your .py pgoram. Below is an example of how to do that for windows.

For windows - I used windows Ubuntu linux subsystem to create the executable targeting windows 64-bit:

sudo apt-get install mingw-w64. Read more.
make new file game.c

   #include <stdlib.h>

   int main() {
       system("py ./temp.py");
       return 0;
    }

Put your game.py and game.c in the same folder and run x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc -o game.exe game.c

how to can open the .py file like an application on windows?
