Can I somehow “compile” a python script to work on PC without Python installed?

by

Here is one way to do it (for Windows, using py2exe).

First, install the py2exe on your Windows box.

Then create a python script named compile.py, like this:

import sys
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

entry_point = sys.argv[1]
sys.argv.pop()
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
sys.argv.append('-q')

opts = {
    'py2exe': {
        'compressed': 1,
        'optimize': 2,
        'bundle_files': 1
    }
}

setup(console=[entry_point], options=opts, zipfile=None)

To compile your Python script into a Windows executable, run this script with your program as its argument:

$ python compile.py myscript.py

It will spit out a binary executable (EXE) with a Python interpreter compiled inside. You can then just distribute this executable file.
