Another option would be to use distutils to package everything into  
a .tar, so you only would have to move one file no matter how  
complicated your application (though you'd still have to unpack it on  
the other side).

I've heard of people resolving issues by doing this, but I don't know  
if it's always necessary.

Distutils knows nothing about --embed. However, you might take a look at

http://hg.cython.org/cython-devel/file/tip/Demos/freeze/README.txt
