Distribute xlwings macro without xlwings installation?

Question

I'm having trouble finding an answer to this - I'm writing some simple VBA with the goal that my colleagues can install it as an add in or custom tab. Coming from Python I would, of course, prefer to work with xlwings or pyxll, but as I understood it in order to call any python you would have to install xlwings on every computer?
The ideal scenario would be that I could develop excel add ins with xlwings or pyxll and export it as if it were a normal excel add in, so that my colleagues can install it easily. Unfortunately, I can't install all the required python modules on every target computer.
is this possible or just wishful thinking?

Answer 1

One possibility is to convert all the required python files (your scripts, xlwings files and python interpreter) into a standalone executable. The xlwings website gives an example where this has been done (fibonacci_standalone.zip). See also the deployment docs page.
