2freeze, which comes with the standard library, and the less limited py2exe are the ones I know of.rlms– rlms2013-08-20 20:14:53 +00:00Commented Aug 20, 2013 at 20:14

2This question has been asked many times before and is easily google-able. The first four results for "Python to Exe" are useful links.Chris Pfohl– Chris Pfohl2013-08-20 20:18:57 +00:00Commented Aug 20, 2013 at 20:18

1@Ty221 Sure, but my comment was primarily a 'duplicate' warning. I only mentioned google becuase I thought it'd be useful. Duplicate of stackoverflow.com/q/12059509/456188 and several others.Chris Pfohl– Chris Pfohl2013-08-20 20:42:03 +00:00Commented Aug 20, 2013 at 20:42

I had to do this a while ago and I had the most success with py2exe: http://www.py2exe.org/
You create a setup.py file which gives a list of what Python code you want to include in your executable, and it packages that up along with a subset of the Python interpreter into a single exe. Works specifically on Windows. (Linux and Mac generally already have Python installed so it's much less of an issue there.)
