I'm sure you probably know this but you can compile Python code into an executable file. I got into Python in my '60s. It's turned into a interesting hobby. I take board games like Monopoly and create my own computer version using Python and Pygame. Pygame allows you to create graphics and animation, like my Blackjack game where real cards fly off the deck into your virtual hand. I got my start trying to write the code for this project which is an outdoor game console meant to enhance the game of flag football.
