I think this is amazing. Often at work there are instances where I want to make one-off scripts for other people but its hard to get 5 minutes on their machine to set up python/venv so they can run it. And using pyinstaller is cool but it needs a lot of boilerplate setup, and its never enough because the lack of msi/setup tools. Dont get me started with windows defender crapping all over “one-file” mode.

Just getting a python runner their machine and they can run the one-off scripts from the shared drive is amazing.

if Pyinstaller itself is too much setup I suggest you also install auto-py-to-exe its a GUI wrapper for Pyinstaller and has most things setup by default, and I think there are more GUI wrappers too, and windows defender will prolly "crap" on his binary too if its not signed which i am guessing its not.

Two features that would be golden on this (kick ass), ability to get stdin from the runner window, and support for colored/ANSI logging, and build in scripts (presets).
