How to make a installer from a Python scripts

Question

I have written a Python scripts which uses some add on libraries like MatPlotLib, NumPy, DateUtil etc. How can I make this Python scripts as an installer or packages, something like jar files, so that my scripts will run on different systems without installing AddOn libraries individually? I am using windows OS also my scripts takes few command line arguments.

Any solutions, hints or links will make my life earier. Thanks in advance for your kind co-operation.

You can create Java JAR files from Python scripts with Jython, but there is no NumPy Jython port for example.

Anyway, there are various tools to package your script into executable: cx_freeze, bbfreeze, PyInstaller, etc.

        console=['PlotMemInfo.py'],

        options={
                 'py2exe': {
                            'packages' : ['matplotlib'],
            'dll_excludes': ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll',
                            'libgobject-2.0-0.dll',
                            'libgdk_pixbuf-2.0-0.dll']
                           }
              },
        data_files = matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles()
      )
