One of the most-frequently asked questions of all time is this: "I have a Python application I've developed; how do I deliver it to my customer/friend/...?"

Here are typical answers:

  • tar up the source and send it. It's reasonable to expect that the end-user's host will have Python installed. MacOS comes that way; most Linux distributions do; and it's not onerous to insist that a Windows user install, for example, ActivePython;

  • for Windows, use MovablePython;

  • for this purpose, Pyrex can be regarded as a language variant to Python itself;

  • Freeze

  • cx Freeze

  • py2app is for Macintosh

  • py2exe

  • PyInstaller (supports Windows, Linux and soon Mac)

  • Python-Packager

FredrikLundh discussed some of these in 2003.

As of 2007, py2exe perhaps is second in use only to source distribution.
