If I wanted to sell bots based on python how would i go about it. Suppose i make a GUI application will the end user be able to run it smoothly. What are the practical difficulties ? Is it possible to make a jarvee like application on python to run on windows ?

I say yeah there are python projects that convert your code into executables (exe files). Which your users can run like any other application.

You can compile your codes and make a standalone version. Some of the ways to do that is py2exe, PyInstaller, cython etc.

It's definitely possible. I have done it in the past and it works good. However, the GUI part is not very easy under python (well, was hard for me, my stuff looked very ugly).

Sure thing, just keep the logic on backend and make sure no one get access.
You should also do some whitelist for ur users.

You definetely can, but you have to keep in mind that users can decompile your code.
If you do a jarvee like application, it could run on windows, but if you don't want someone to steal your code (or making it hard for them), try to obfuscate it before compiling it

Noobie answer: Yes, BUT you have to convert your python code/script (the .py file) into an execitable file (a .exe file). This way, your clients doesn't need to install python on their computer first before using your program. Converting it to an .exe file makes it usable without much hussle, and helps you a little bit with copyrights.
