Unlike these two tools, cx_Freeze is cross platform and should work on any platform that Python itself works on. It supports Python 3.5 or higher. For Python 2.7, use version 5. More information can be found at the web site: https://anthony-tuininga.github.io/cx_Freeze What's new? cx_Freeze 6.1 adds support for Python 3.8 and makes a lot of small improvements, particularly to hooks for commonly used packages. The full release notes can be read here: https://cx-freeze.readthedocs.io/en/latest/releasenotes.html#version-6-1-january-2020 Thanks once again to Marcelo Duarte for his help in making this release happen in a timely fashion! To install, use the following command: python -m pip install cx_Freeze --upgrade
