Is that not py2exe's job?


In theory. In reality, python freezers have a lot of problems. It can be a real hassle to get a single file, and even if you do they turn out massive. I've had nothing but problems with them in the past.


I've had good experiences with PyInstaller, if you haven't tried it yet (or recently).


Seconded. I recently moved a work project from py2exe to pyInstaller and was very happy with the results.
