Finally there is py2exe for Python3!
`py2exe` is a distutils extension which allows to build standalone
Windows executable programs (32-bit and 64-bit) from Python scripts;
Python 3.3 and later are supported. It can build console executables,
windows (GUI) executables, windows services, and DLL/EXE COM servers.
News:
- py2exe now supports Python 3.3 and 3.4
- can be installed with 'pip' since py2exe is released in wheel format
(in addition to a source package and bdist_wininst installers)
- less warnings from the build process thanks to a hooks module which
contains knowledge about some often used packages
- easy start: executables can now be built with a simple command line
script; no need to write a setup-script from scratch. In fact a
commented setup-script can now be autogenerated
- py2exe does now find Python modules even in zipped eggs
Short manual and download at the Python cheeseshop (or simply install
it with 'pip install py2exe'):
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/py2exe/0.9.2.0/
Enjoy,
Thomas
