Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Share, as in allow them to run the code? You could just send them the link you posted here, or you could upload the code to github

ancient spoke Aug 23, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

like can i make it a download that opens it up?

#

like a file

pulsar whale Aug 23, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

make a exe

coral shore Aug 23, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

Look into Pyinstaller. Note though, for a script as small as this, it might not be worth the effort. Bundling a script into an EXE has some large downsides, like the fact that the resulting file is massive, and will likely trigger their antivirus.

ancient spoke Aug 23, 2025, 7:04 PM

#

hmmm...

coral shore Aug 23, 2025, 7:04 PM

#

Also, it won't hide the code. They'll still be able to see it if they really want to.
