Is there a way to make python an executable file on a mac, windows, or unix? Nothing fancy in a GUI, but open a terminal window or a console window and run like somebody executed the application through terminal.

If there's no easy way to do this, can someone direct me to any reading material? Thank you!

  • Can you be more specific? Are you trying to create an app from code already written? Check out p2exe or PyInstaller Commented Nov 19, 2013 at 17:23

You can use PyInstaller (http://www.pyinstaller.org/), there is also py2exe (http://www.py2exe.org/).

My experiences with PyInstaller on Linux show that it tends to place a lot of shared libs which may sometimes clash with your distribution so it's sometimes necessary to trim it down a bit afterwards.
