On option is pyinstaller or py2exe, which converts a Python script + 
dependencies into a single file (single directory) executable. Sometimes 
you must give them hints what to include, but in general it works well. 
It may create very large packages (if you include 
numpy/scipy/matplotlib, you'll end up with ~60 MB)
