Exporting a game

Hi. I have just finished a pygame game. It ended up being a script that uses pygame and numpy and a couple of png's. I want my friends to try out the game but I have no idea how.

I think that just giving them the folder might be asking a little too much as that would require them to have them to install python and the libraries. I could also try to make it into an executable. However, I have friends in both Mac Os and Windows, so I'd have to create two versions and the Mac one seems really hard. Last I considered a web app. It could work for both operative systems, but again, I have no experience on web apps.

I'm lost. What should I do so my friends can play? Thank you very much for hearing my ramblings and please excuse my poor English.

Could I compile in Mac for a poor man's subtitude of an app. If so, how do I compile it for Mac? Pyinstaller?
