How to make python portable?

Question

I want to make a portable app that would have some code and python executable that would run on any Windows even if python is not installed.

I would like it to be python 3.6 and so it has only pip and setup tools installed.

EDIT: concerning duplicate

not quite. I don't want to compile the code. I wanted to give them .py files but realize that Windows won't have python installed on default. I want something that can be carry on a flash drive but will run my code from source not binary.

Answer 1

Please correct me, if I understood it wrong. I think there are at least two ways to do it. suppose you have one portable_run.py script you want to run everywhere on a flashdisk.

1. Make a exe file with pyinstaller for example. you can get a exe file like portable_run.exe. On target windows system what you need to do is to run the exe direcltly protable_run.exe

2. Use a portable python distribution like winpython or python-xy. you just need to copy this portable distribution on the flash disk together with your portable_run.py. To run it on target system flashdisk/path-of-winpython/python portable_run.py

Hopefully it could give you some idea.
