I'm just changing over from C myself. Python is definately not the same

Python isn't compiled, and you probably shouldn't be looking for an answer 
that involved a compiler.

Typically, you'd make a script:

I'm not sure how well this will work in Windows though.

There are other alternatives (py2exe is one that I've seen, but not played 
with)
