I'm developing a Python application for a group of engineer colleagues that helps automate a lot of the routine data processing work we do. I would like to deploy my application in a way that's simple for the end user, without requiring Python on their machines as a prerequisite.



Other posts have suggested bundling everything in a one-file executable with something like Pyinstaller, and I've done this in the past with success. However, I'd like to be able to roll out additional features and bug fixes without having to send out a whole new executable each time there's an update.



I'm an engineer myself and fairly new to developing applications beyond one-off data crunching scripts, so I hope this isn't a silly question. But, for example, I know apps like Spotify are written in Python, and I receive updates for that quickly and easily through a routine that runs on launch. Is this something I can implement, or am I introducing way too much overhead for myself in an otherwise simple program?
