Unlike these two tools, cx_Freeze is cross platform and should work on any platform that Python itself works on. It supports Python 2.3 or higher, including Python 3. Where do I get it? http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net What's new? The release notes can be read here as well: http://cx_freeze.readthedocs.org/en/latest/releasenotes.html 1) Added support for the final release of Python 3.3. 2) Added support for copying the MSVC runtime DLLs and manifest if desired by using the --include-msvcr switch. Thanks to Almar Klein for the initial p atch. 3) Clarified the documentation on the --replace-paths option. Thanks to Thomas Kluyver for the patch. Bugs fixed: 1) Producing a Mac distribution failed with a variable reference. 2) Freezing a script using PyQt on a Mac failed with a type error. 3) Version number reported was incorrect. (Issue #7) 4) Correct paths during installation on Windows. (Issue #11)
