Anyone have any experience with converting scripts into programs/executables that non-coders can use easily without needing to install modules/dependencies etc?
Best ways to turn Python scripts into programs?

Yes but this will leak your source code every time you run it. Simply because Pyinstaller unpacks your source code really fast into a temp folder then loads it up quickly into memory.

I've looked at PyInstaller, is there another method which doesn't leak the source code?

I don't think there exists any other method where you don't leak your source code. The main reason is because all of the Python executables actually include the Python interpreter bundled with your code. When you run it, it basically extracts the Python interpreter and your source code.
You need a language that compiles to native code, look into Rust, Golang or C++.

as the guy said above, the source will be leaked. Use some compiled language, not some interpreted lang.
