[portland] Providing Application to Windows Users

[Miguel Grinberg]

Rich,

The following packages convert a Python script into a Windows executable, including Python itself and all the script’s dependencies:

http://www.py2exe.org/ <http://www.py2exe.org/>
https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki <https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki>

Can’t comment on how these compare as I haven’t used them myself.

Hope this helps!

Miguel
