I keep hearing this reply every time I ask this question, and it doesn't seem to make sense to me. Anything other than a trivial script will have dependencies.

In my opinion, there is a severe need for this question to be answered in a robust and simple way. Is creating an rpm / deb file the answer?

Creating a standalone application
Dear all,
I am getting an expected string without null bytes error when using
cxfreeze for creating a standalone application (in Linux-Ubuntu). None
of my files has null bytes. I also tried pyinstaller but I got the error
attached at the end.
My program runs fine when executed from eclipse. What is the easiest
way of creating a standalone application? Is there a way of creating the
executable file from eclipse/pydev?
Cheers,
Luis
