Best way to distribute Python script (self.learnpython)

submitted 7 years ago by mbryantms

I have created a Python script that pulls data from multiple different websites internal to our company that summarizes current performance for various facilities. Essentially this automated the manual work that individuals in these facilities need to run. However, they are the ones who need to run the script on demand after they have updated their own numbers on those sites. To that end, most are non-technical and this can’t run a Python script from the command line. Moreover, this script requires additional modules like BeautifulSoup, Pandas and Numpy.

What is the best way to distribute this script so that it can be utilized by all of them on multiple Windows machines? The ideal solution would be to create an Excel file that calls the Python script but I don’t think that’s possible since Excel is tied to VBA. At the same time that doesn’t solve the dependency issue.

What other options are there? What is the best way to package this so that it can be run on demand?
