This looks really nice! Something my staff would definitely appreciate, especially the ability to 'version' the text file (even if it's just different copies of yaml files in a directory). But the deployment aspect is a non-starter, I just can't tell my staff "install (the correct version of) graphviz (for your OS), then install (the correct version of) python, then run it from the commandline giving the yaml file as an argument". At minimum it'd have to be a standalone executable, and running it would need to be simplified, maybe not with a real GUI but perhaps "drop the yaml file on the executable" would suffice.

Perhaps I could rig up an internal webapp where a user could submit/post a file from an html form and it would download the resulting image, but that'd be a bit of a clunky process for the user.

Put everything into a docker container? That’s about as close to a single executable as you’ll get without a ground up re write or some other non trivial engineering.

I use pyinstaller to create executables for a few python programs that my coworkers want to use
