Make sure that the main python file has #! /usr/bin/env python as the first line, then make sure it has execute permission set (should be as easy as chmod +x file_name.py).

From link:

"PyInstaller is a program that converts (packages) Python programs into stand-alone executables, under Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Its main advantages over similar tools are that PyInstaller works with any version of Python since 1.5, it builds smaller executables thanks to transparent compression, it is fully multi-platform, and use the OS support to load the dynamic libraries, thus ensuring full compatibility."

I have not used it never in linux so I can not give you more info

I think any modern Linux OS has Python installed, so you can just ditribute the .py file if it has no weird dependencies.

yes its true, but i want to make it as an application, so i can add into startup application and always run when user login, no need to run manually by typing python file_name.py
