Python project to exe

Question

I've been working on a rather large Python project containing both downloaded packages (xlwt, xlrd etc. ) and user defined packages and I'd like to pack it into a single .exe file. I've been searching, but can't seem to find something on how to make an executable from such a project. Any thoughts or links that might help?

EDIT: I've looked into Py2exe, cx_freeze etc. problem is that I can't find a description on how to make an exe file for a project with multiple user defined packages.

Take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14165398/a-good-python-to-exe-compiler — Roman Susi, May 03 '15 at 17:15

There is py2exe extension that creates *.exe file for your Python application. See http://www.py2exe.org/ (and more specifically, http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial).

I've looked at this, but can't quite figure out how to do it when I have my modules in different packages. I've only managed to find a tutorials for single script exe conversion. – user3573178 May 03 '15 at 17:17
There are multiple options for py2exe such as includes, excludes and packages - you can find these at http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/ListOfOptions. Specifying the correct packages should be enough to create an executable bundle. – mpolednik May 03 '15 at 17:23

There are a few projects that might interest you:

These essentially "freeze" your code ship it with a bundled Python interpreter.

Solved it using pyinstaller. Worked like a charm! – user3573178 May 04 '15 at 19:15
