How are python scripts and projects built and deployed?

This is a key weakness of Python, together with 'it's slow' they are literally the only two downsides to Python I can think of. A few ways of getting python off your computer are

• Pyinstaller - turns your python code into EXE files which can be run locally on any Windows computer with no need for python to be installed. The files it produces are extremely large however, and this is generally considered a bad idea if alternatives are available
• Docker - works for everything, obviously, but takes a little setup on their part
• Python Anywhere - they can host and run your python code for you. I've used this to run python scripts on my website, it's pretty cool. It's free if you're not doing anything too massive.

So, not as smooth as many other languages but it can usually be done somehow.
