Pyinstaller is a good option to convert python scripts to an windows executable.
You can install it in cmd.exe as any user and run pip install pyinstaller or pip install --pre pyinstaller.
you can then run it using pyinstaller. (sorry that i can't supply a automated script i wrote after a system restore. I'll write it again soon using pyqt5)
syntax
--onefile- puts the program and it's files into a exe.
--onedir- put your program into a directory (folder) (faster than--onefileas it does not need to extract files)
-c- create a console app.
-w- create an app without the console.
-i "[Path to .ico or exe with icon. e.g C:\Files\CODE\Icon.ico]"- set an icon for your app instead of the default snake-on-a-floppy-disk icon.
you can read the rest here.
You can then get inno setup and create an offline installer.
