I've had good success with PyInstaller. https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki I like it better than Py2Exe - it seems to "just work" without a lot of fiddling. JDM On 1/6/2015 9:59 AM, John Sampson wrote: I tried py2exe but the executable file has to be in a specific folder along

Was also going to mention pyInstaller - once it's installed, there'll be an executable in your python/scripts directory, and something like the following command line from your directory where your source is will try to generate a single file executable - something like the following: c:\python2
