Have you tried using Nuitka - rather than pyInstalller - it means you 
distribute a single executable and the Python run time library (which 
they probably have already), and it has the advantage that it is a bit 
quicker than standard python.

Rather than bundle the source code and interpreter in single executable, 
Nuitka actually compiles the Python source code to native machine code 
(via a set of C files), and  this native executable uses the Python 
runtime library to implement the python features.It does rely on you 
having a Windows C compiler available.
