I developed a program I think has potential, but don't want the end user to a) have to download python and b) steal my code. How would I turn it the .py of my script into a .bat or .exe so my end user can run it?

You can use Py2exe to turn the code into an Windows executeable
Look into that.

Why would you want it in a .bat file? Turn it into an EXE.
If you want to turn it into a .bat you have translate the code into Batch.

Probably the simplest way to make it a .bat is to make an exe that will write a .bat, execute the .bat, then delete the .bat.
In short, if you plan on distributing in windows, make it an exe. py2exe is the standard from what I understand. Your other options are here:
