For ease of use, consider packaging this script into an executable file using tools like PyInstaller. This way, users won't need to have Python or the required packages installed on their system.
Refer to the Python packaging documentation or the PyInstaller documentation for instructions on how to do this. Be sure to thoroughly test your packaged application to ensure everything works as expected.
