Compile python into binary - pypy performance

Question

I am looking to compile python source code into a binary. I generally use pypy for performance reasons (my application runs significantly faster using pypy). I found this answer from 2012 stating compiling pypy into binary isn't possible using any of the existing tools (e.g. pyinstaller). Compile PyPy to Exe. I wasn't quite able to follow what the top response was explaining as a solution.

I am wondering:

1. Is there now a reasonably easy way to compile python code to binary using pypy as the interpreter?

2. I don't actually need to use pypy, I just use it for the performance gains. Is there a reasonable way to avoid using pypy but still get similar performance gains? This would still need to support compiling to binary.

As an additional note, I use the 2.7 syntax.

you can take a look to nuitka ( http://nuitka.net/doc/user-manual.html)
