I may be wrong, but I thought that Python normally requires an interpreter to run and making an executable out of a script requires jumping through some hoops… does Visual Studio include a compiler like that or are using another tool?

I have to do it via command line using pyinstaller. I have not seen a button that compiles in Visual Studio (you’d think there would be one, maybe there is, but I have not found it).
