Are there any alternatives to py2exe?

pyInstaller is cross-platform and very powerful, with many third-party packages (matplotlib, numpy, PyQT4, ...) specially supported "out of the box", support for eggs, code-signing on Windows (and a couple other Windows-only goodies, optional binary packing... the works!-) The one big issue: the last "released" version, 1.3, is ages-old -- you absolutely must install the SVN trunk version, svn co http://svn.pyinstaller.org/trunk pyinstaller (or the 1.4 pre-release, but I haven't tested that one). A fair summary of its capabilities as of 6 months ago is here (in English, despite the Italian URL;-).

cx_Freeze is cross-platform and does the same, or you could use py2app, which works on mac only.

Here's a list of them.

1. Py2exe
2. PyInstaller
3. cx_Freeze
4. bbfreeze
5. py2app

You might also consider Nuitka, which compiles python to native code.

bbfreeze claims to works on Windows and UNIX, but not on OS X. It doesn't seem to be actively developed anymore, though.
