How do I make a single executable combining Python and pygame?

Question

I have created a game on Python, but other people can't play it since they do not have PyGame. I would like to do a package with Python and PyGame in it. How can I do it?

It'd be actually the best solution to require the users to install Pygame. You don't have to supply every requirement for them. — TidB

I second what user286058 says, but if you are on a different OS, there are other options.

Mac OS X

py2app or platypus.

Windows

py2exe.

Linux

Probably a little bit more complicated. I have never done this before, but you can get more info here

Or, you can just put all external libraries in a folder and zip or rar them. This is probably the easiest solution.

We are currently packing our Python application (not based on pygame, but with various dependencies) using:

PyInstaller for Linux and Windows
Py2pp for Mac

Once you get to build the first running packages, it's ok, but at first it was a bit tedious to make sure all the resources are correctly gathered and configured.
