How to package a Python app and the Python interpreter in a single EXE
This article describes solutions to create a single executable file containing a Python application/script and the Python interpreter DLL with all necessary libraries. The executable file can then be launched on any system even if Python is not installed.
Existing solutions:
- py2exe: http://www.py2exe.org/
- cx_Freeze: http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/
- PyInstaller: http://pyinstaller.python-hosting.com/ (formerly knwon as McMillan Installer)
- IronPython pyc:
Useful additional tools:
- PyBuilder, a GUI to simplify the use of py2exe on Windows: http://pybuilder.sourceforge.net/
- InnoSetup, to build a complete installer for Windows: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
- NSIS, another installer builder: http://nsis.sourceforge.net
