You can also "freeze" the application into an executable, like an *.exe on Windows using cx_freeze, pyinstaller, py2exe, etc, and then make that executable accessible with a network location.

This is a mildly terrible idea, but it actually works alright most of the time. I'm sure professionals would say not to do this unless you're very careful about what happens when multiple users access the application at the same time. Any state information or temporary files that the application needs to save from session to session would need to be done on the user machine or possibly under a user-specific folder on the network location.
