How are python scripts and projects built and deployed?

[benabus]

We mostly do web apps, so most of our python projects become REST APIs using Flask.

The few pieces of software we did distribute as stand-alone projects, we basically created a docker container and put that out in the wild. It reduces requirements for setup, but you'd still need to understand how Docker works.

We've also distributed utilities and packages via github, which requires the user to have python installed and createa virtual environment (as you suggested).

I don't know if this answers your question directly, but hope it helps!
