Of course py2exe might be ancient and horrible and a bunch of other things that pyinstaller is not (I woulnd't know either way), but, to be honest, as well a tad cocky, I am not interested nor prepared to find out. Sorry about that, but hopefully one can understand. I'm not trying to 'get back into Python' , I just want something from the past back working again with minimal effort.

It may be easier, but it may not be feasible.  That depends on what
dependencies are involved and whether your target audience is capable
of installing Python and those dependencies.  Distributing .py files
to my Windows customers is absolutely out of the question.  There's no
way I can expect them to install Python and whatever other
dependenceis are required by my applications.

That said, I've recently switched from py2exe to cx_freeze.  However,
even that isn't simple enough for my users, and I bundle the output
from those with Inno Setup.
