Hi. I'm fairly new too programming and I use python . I just want to know in what format must the tool be submitted to the tool jam? I ask because of the problems that may arise from compiling a python file to exe

No specific format required. Just a python script is fine. you will surely have more testers if you also make an executable for windows, mac and/or linux. But it’s not mandatory.

I know your pain. I have struggled a lot with compiling Python scripts into single standalone files. For my submission I had to compromise with the executable just running and an enormous folder/file structure.
