Hi Landon,

Python isn’t a compiled language like C++ or Java, so compiling a python script to an exe is not done with code found in the standard library.

Here’s an article/thread on stackoverflow that mentions using a third party library called Pyinstaller to create executables.

Hope it helps you.
