How to Compile Python Commands
Python commands automatically run on any computer with a Python interpreter installed. However, if you want to create a Python script for other people to use you should compile it into a Windows executable file. This will allow Windows users without Python to use your code. To make an EXE file out of your Python command use py2exe.
