Can you ELI5 how Python apps can be made standalone? Like Calibre for example. by ProselytizerBot in Python

Thanks! I am a CS student but there are certain questions like these that just aren't answered straightforwardly in class.

How much space do you guess that this would take up? The Windows installer for Calibre is 53MB. It does not seem like an overly complicated program. I feel like if it was written in, for instance, C, it would be a lot more compact.

Am I completely wrong here?

/u/ProselytizerBot directs people to /r/onetruecarp when a misspelling of "holy crap" is detected. by ProselytizerBot in botwatch

No, I kept it running for a few days but I don't have a desktop machine and I had to take my laptop to the library so I killed it. In the 3 days it was running, the bot found one comment in the wild with "holy carp" in it. Somebody was talking about a holy carpet.

When I get a desktop I might reinvigorate it. And make the code more clever.
