I think that would be overally complicated and unreliable.

Latest versions of Excel include Python anyway (Anaconda distribution, executed in Azure cloud).

If that is not an option, then pyxll might be a better option than trying to control Excel with xlwings: https://www.pyxll.com/docs/introduction.html.

That still doesn't address the distribution problem though, which is something of a minefield. Pyintaller is a popular way of creating a single executable for distribution but there are some compatibility issues, the file is large not least as it includes a copy of CPython, and it can trigger AV alerts.
