the "unneccessary files" you say, are what your 40-45 lines bring to
life.

1) just distribute the 40-45 lines - but this requires python
installation on users end

2) use a python to C(++) compiler and compile the result to .exe,
works pretty well for simple applications:

3) Stop worrying about the size of the distribution. In today's world 4Mb is
trivial to download.
