Hello from the pygame community. https://www.pygame.org/contribute.html
side wall hit, time to reset ball and give points
So it works,for more advance games with a addition data file like image/sound ect... may need to add this in build process.
Pyinstaller has good documentation about this.
Example on how that would look:
pyinstaller --onefile --icon=sound.ico --add-data shoot.png;. pong.py
For more addition can also use
spec file that Pyinstaller create on every run.
