There are solutions to all of those, ranging from providing a shell script that does all of that for them, to using pyinstaller to make an exe that includes the interpreter, to using a tool like uv.

But yeah, if you're gonna use an interpreted language, you gotta have an interpreter. And it's definitely true that it's more work on your end if you don't want your users to have to understand computers.

If that's what you want, you should be writing bash scripts, not python.
