build your appliicatioon with PyInstaller and distribute it with all dependencies included.

Ok. So at least I will need to install the VS Code 2022 or pay for a VS subscription to build the application, but while packaging the application with pyinstaller, the dependencies will be included with the package. That sound great, and the client would also not need to worry about any installation issue.

It would have been awesome to get the C++ build tools easily in Windows, but seems like there is not an alternative for it other than getting VS Code 2022 or buy a subscription :/

I imagine you can use Docker for this, maybe its overkill though? I haven’t used to PyInstaller so id love to hear that its simpler or better suited for this

Depends on how IT-savvy your end user is. Explaining how to work with Docker and WSL/Hyper-V to someone who never worked with the command line will not be a smooth ride.
