Hi, thank you for this program.
Just wondering if users will need Python installed (and libraries used) or they can just run the .exe inside the folder?

No, the whole point of bundling into an executable is so that your script can be run on a different computer without Python installed - the Python interpreter is packaged in the output executable.

Hope that answers your question, let me know if you needed more.
