The Python interpreter would need to be present in some way. Common ways: 1) install Python (it's free), remembering to put it on the path 2) package your program using PyInstaller (misnomer) or the older py2exe. This wraps everything into an executable which you can then run from the command line like other executables. No need to install anything. > 2.
