There are actually some options here. But all of them will require some form of a installer. The only gotcha is you need an installer for each platform you plan on distributing too. So for Windows I currently use: INNO Setup Installer ( http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php ) and package the Python installer for windows with-in it; then install Python and after that is complete I install my python program; once everything is installed you can create a launcher. Inno comes with a nice little IDE to help you create the installer. It also runs well in Wine in case you are on Windows. For Linux: I use a self extracting shell installer script ( http://stephanepeter.com/makeself/ ) that runs the appropriate installation commands for Linux to get a Python interpret installed and then switch it over to Python to finish the install. But I also test for Python and 99% of the time my installer has reported that Python in some form was already installed on Linux. For OSX I have not yet tried to get my code working there; but I am fairly certain that Python is installed on most OSX installs by default it just becomes a matter of upgrading it to a more modern version. For Android and IOS I use Kivy and buildozer to create the necessary packages.
Also the web app option is another good possibility; as mentioned by Alan; since HTML5 has done so much to improve the state of web applications.
