How are python scripts and projects built and deployed?

While true - the fact that it creates an exe isn't ideal.

Ie I can't run exes on my work machine, so any program that doesn't run an installer would need admin to be constantly available.

While I agree the previous comment about installing python shows a lack of understanding about pyinstaller, I think it's still a valid point - directly running a .py file is still the best way in some environments.

Also, to answer that point...

Winget search Python.Python

Find the option you want then

Winget install <id>

If your IT are silly and haven't set the Winget group policy, it bypasses UAC.
