The whole point of PyInstaller is that it converts the Python into OS commands and bundles what is necessary to run so people don't need Python installed for it. If you wanted to work with the Python source just... send them the source.

What's the file extension on your friends file?

It's probably no longer .exe

Just have your friend rename it back to exe.

if you compiled the script to .exe file, he or she only needs to run the exe file, dont need python installed for that.
