How do I convert a Python program to a runnable exe Windows program

Question

I am looking for a way to convert a Python Program to a  exe file WITHOUT using py2exe  py2exe says it requires Python 2 6  which is outdated  Is there a way this is possible so I can distribute my Python program without the end-user having to install Python

If it is a simple py script refer here  Else for GUI       pip3 install cx Freeze  1  Create a setup py file and put in the same directory as of the  py file you want to convert   2 Copy paste the following lines in the setup py and do change the  filename py  into the filename you specified   from cx Freeze import setup  Executable setup      name  GUI PROGRAM       version  0 1       description  MyEXE       executables  Executable  filename py   base  Win32GUI             3  Run the setup py    python setup py build   4 A new directory will be there there called  build   Inside it you will get your  exe file to be ready to launced directly   Make sure you copy paste the images files and other external files into the build directory

Understand that every  freezing  application for Python will not really secure your code in any way  Every packaging system for a stand-alone executable Python  program  will include a lot of the Python libraries and interpreter  which will make your program pretty large    That said  PyInstaller has done a nearly flawless job with everything I ve thrown at it  Currently it only supports up to Python 2 7 but Pyinstaller s support for a varied set of libraries large and small is unmatched in other  freeze  type programs for Python

For this you have two choices    A downgrade to python 2 6  This is generally undesirable because it is backtracking and may nullify a small portion of your scripts Your second option is to use some form of exe converter  I recommend pyinstaller as it seems to have the best results

There is another way to convert Python scripts to  exe files  You can compile Python programs into C   programs  which can be natively compiled just like any other C   program
