Looking for a dream language: sounds like Python to me.

[Assuming that was a question.]

py2exe just bundles up the files needed to run the program.
The result runs pretty much the same as it did when it was
"unbundled".  By default, py2exe combines some stuff in a zip
file, so that might slow down startup by a tiny amount. If
you don't like that, you can tell py2exe not to "zip" things
up, and then the program runs pretty much identically as did
the unbundled version.

py2exe doesn't really have any impact on the program's
perfromance.  It's still the same Python VM running the same
bytecode using the same library files.
