The most convenient way to deliver a Python application to a user is to provide them with an executable—either a single file or a directory with an easily identified executable somewhere in it.
You can use a tool like PyInstaller to convert your script (. py file) into an executable (.exe on windows). The way that works is PyInstaller copies both the python interpretor and your script into a single file so that you can distribuite your program easily.
Py2Exe can done most of the prerequisites, and dependencies, to remove and additional install/uninstall you could use any msi installer creator.
