Also known as Frozen Binaries but not the same as as the output of a true compiler- they run byte code through a virtual machine  PVM   Run the same as a compiled program just larger because the program is being compiled along with the PVM  Py2exe can freeze standalone programs that use the tkinter  PMW  wxPython  and PyGTK GUI libraties  programs that use the pygame game programming toolkit  win32com client programs  and more   The Stackless Python system is a standard CPython implementation variant that does not save state on the C language call stack  This makes Python more easy to port to small stack architectures  provides efficient multiprocessing options  and fosters novel programming structures such as coroutines  Other systems of study that are working on future development  Pyrex is working on the Cython system  the Parrot project  the PyPy is working on replacing the PVM altogether  and of course the founder of Python is working with Google to get Python to run 5 times faster than C with the Unladen Swallow project  In short  py2exe is the easiest and Cython is more efficient for now until these projects improve the Python Virtual Machine  PVM  for standalone files

I found this presentation to be very helpfull   How I Distribute Python applications on Windows - py2exe  amp  InnoSetup  From the site      There are many deployment options for   Python code  I ll share what has   worked well for me on Windows    packaging command line tools and   services using py2exe and InnoSetup    I ll demonstrate a simple build script   which creates windows binaries and an   InnoSetup installer in one step  In   addition  I ll go over common errors   which come up when using py2exe and   hints on troubleshooting them  This is   a short talk  so there will be a   follow-up Open Space session to share   experience and help each other solve   distribution problems
