Solution for this is to make flask or django apps. Easier to make user interfaces, and solves packaging / user experience problems.

I've had some success with WinPython, where I just install the whole kit and kaboodle on their computer. Before I share anything, I try running my code on a fresh install of WinPython.

Learning to distribute Python code is on my to-do list for next year. We now have a younger programmer on the team who is up to date on this stuff, and has agreed to train me.

Found pyinstaller very handy, in fact that's what I use to create releases for my side project[0]. And if you're creating CLIs, a sibling comment mentioned Gooey.
