About cx_Freeze

cx_Freeze is a set of scripts and modules for freezing Python
scripts into executables in much the same way that
py2exe and
py2app
do. Unlike these two tools, cx_Freeze is cross platform and should work on any
platform that Python itself works on. It requires
Python 2.3 or higher
since it makes use of the zip import facility which was introduced in that
version.

NOTE: Binary packages must be compatible with the Python
installation on your system or you will get errors in your frozen executables
about missing builtin modules or missing symbols. This is not likely to be a
problem on Windows (since www.python.org is the only known distributor) but on
Linux it is more likely (since Python is often packaged with the Linux
distribution in different ways). If you get such errors, download the source
package and build the binaries yourself.
