Answer 2

Just put the following line at the top of it (your Python script):
#! /usr/bin/env python
then (in the console):

sudo mv file.py /usr/local/bin/file
sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/file
chown root:root /usr/local/bin/file

where file.py was your Python script and file the preferred name.

Now your script is fully executable without needing any compiling. You'll be able to edit it in the future, but only as root.

Works for Linux. Should work on Unixy OSes. Sorry, no Windows method I know of.
