Python for game jam

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

That depends on the jam, but usually in the same format preferred on itch.io: as a zip archive. Few jams have tool or language restrictions.

When compiling a python file to exe it might be recognised as a Trojan by antivirus software. Won't that be a problem?

It might, but false positives happen a lot, and I don't know how to fix them. Some people get suspicious. We try to explain. Sometimes it helps.
