Is there anyway I can create a python program which doesn't require any visual c++?

Recently I packaged my script into exe via pyinstaller. But when I ran that program in other pc, it required to install visual c++ 2015. I know it's not a big deal and I can share my app along with visual c++ redists to let others run it. But wouldn't it be more convenient if my app doesn't even require anything? Like, is it possible if I create it in older versions of python i.e python 2.x, would it still require visual c++? Sorry, I'm totally new into this packaging thing. Any help would be appreciated.

i remember how at one point just about everything required visual c++ haha, anyways, i'm pretty sure you do need it to be able to run properly, and it isn't that much of a hassle to install imo
