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.
A Python file, provided it only relies on the standard library, can be redistributed and reused. You will also need to ensure it's written for the right version of Python, and only relies on the standard library.
Yes, its a good idea to package projects especially if you want to use them in multiple environments. pip can install a local wheel or archive, a local directory where you've checked out the code, a private web server, one of several version control systems like git.
You could use something like py2exe to convert your Python program into an executable.
