I'd really love to have a standalone executable version of Datasette too. I've been meaning to spend some time on that - bundling Python applications is tricky but it should be possible using BeeWare or PyInstaller.
The best way to install it at the moment is "brew install datasette" - but that only works if you're on a Mac. I really need to get on top of the Windows installation process too.
It's a common misconception that PyInstaller is something that creates an installer.
Scoop and Chocolatey are nice, but you'll still need something like PyInstaller to bundle your Python app into something that can be installed by scoop or choco. (source: building ActivityWatch [1] which is bundled by PyInstaller and available on Chocolatey)
