Python Exe Freezer

Python Exe Freezer is a free program that will help you easily and flexibly convert Python files into executables. The program runs well, but there are some adjustments and improvements that could make it even better and more convenient.

Python Exe Freezer does the more difficult job for you — it will help you convert your Python code into executables. For those who don't know, in order to write Python code, you need to install the corresponding Python programe version on your operating system. This gives you access to the Python Command-Line and the Python GUI. However, an executable is a file that can run on any given OS, whether you have the Python environment configured on that machine or not.

If you want to use Python Exe Freezer, you normally need a development environment that includes Python and py2exe. Python Exe Freezer comes packed with an extensive readme file that has all the needed information and details on how to complete the setup on your machine.

A must is to have the following checked: Python installed, py2exe installed with the right path configured and the corresponding compatible version for your development ecosystem, and the Python Exe Freezer files unarchived in the right folder, with the given path C:\Python27\Python2exe.

Python Exe Freezer is a good program. Not amazing, but useful. Probably the main thing you are asking yourself by now is why should you need it. I mean, using the bundled-in Python tools (that get installed when you set your development ecosystem) and installing, plus configurating py2exe would be quite a hassle, but it would do the work of creating your executables. Well, that is correct. Python Exe Freezer should work without py2exe, but it doesn't; all because of a bug that we hope will get fixed as soon as possible.

What are the advantages of installing Python Exe Freezer? Well, the first thing to mention is for testing purposes. You can check, in parallel, the executables generated by py2exe and the ones generated by Python Exe Freezer, and compare them. The program was created using Python and py2exe, so it should be well set in your system. Another advantage is the fact that it supports pygame code used in the Pygin game engine, which is needed for creating rich multimedia programs and game development with Python.

To summarize, Python Exe Freezer is a free resource you should consider if its benefits suit your needs, or if you need to compile programs with pygame code. Installing and configuring it should be really easy. Hopefully, the very thing that is keeping it from being a py2exe alternative, the bug, will be fixed in the future.
