Thanks. I think the question is really asking "is there an application 
that can compile standalone python applications in various platforms?" 
That is, is it possible to built a standalone python application in OSX 
that runs on Windows, for example?

I've not used Freeze or cx_freeze before but my assumption is that it 
can only build a sourceless package for its own platform. That is, if I 
run it on OSX, then my built package is only for OSX. My assumption 
comes from the fact that in cx_freeze, there isn't a "Python 
distribution", so it seems to be bootstrapping the python system from 
the host platform. Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Cheers
