Getting tired with py2exe

[Steve M]

What about PyInstaller that was announced the other day? The feature
list looks great, and it appears the developers intend to maintain and
enhance the program indefinitely.

Feature highlights:
* Packaging of Python programs into standard executables, that work on
computers without Python installed.
 * Multiplatform: works under Windows, Linux and Irix.
 * Multiversion: works under any version of Python since 1.5.
 * Dual packaging mode:
   * Single directory: build a directory containing an executable plus
all
the external binary modules (.dll, .pyd, .so) used by the program.
   * Single file: build a single executable file, totally
self-contained,
which runs without any external dependency.
 * Support for automatic binary packing through the well-known UPX
compressor.
 * Optional console mode (see standard output and standard error at
runtime).
 * Selectable executable icon (Windows only).
 * Fully configurable version resource section in executable (Windows
only).
 * Support for building COM servers (Windows only).
