I'll repeat the same suggestion once again, since your problem
statement has not changed substantially:

It's *NOT* "a Python compiler": you use the Python compiler
you already have (python.exe, just a thin shell over python15.dll),
which produces the compiled .pyc or .pyo files; then, McMillan's
Installer programs package those compiled-files, and all their
dependencies (including binaries such as .EXE, .DLL, .PYD) into
a stand-alone .EXE (for Windows, which is what you need).

I'm not sure why you keep looking for "a Python compiler" when
I (and others) have already indicated that the "Installer" is in
fact what you need (you *already* have a Python compiler that
makes binaries out of your sources... why would you want
another?!).  Be assured that you do NOT have to "distribute your
source codes" -- even without the Installer, you could easily
distribute in binary-only form in several ways -- but the Installer
makes that particularly easy to achieve on Windows.
