PyInstaller (building a Python executable)

The promo for my company is almost finished and ready to ship; the next concern was how to ship it to my boss. I knew I would have to produce an executable of the program in order to provide a neat and professional alternative to running it directly from the Python interpreter (IDLE). I attempted to use Py2EXE but instantly ran into technical trouble with this. I turned to a another suggested approach, PyInstaller (pyinstaller 1.3); with help and coaching via DaniWeb, I was able to produce a tidy executable of an acceptable size. I am very pleased with the results. The following tutorial link provides all the information necessary to produce a Python executable.
