Where is python freeze utility

Question

I just installed python 2.6 on my mac, mainly because I couldn't find freeze in my 2.5 distribution. I am wondering where freeze is. Is it even installed at all in the mac distribution?

Answer 1

I don't think it's installed as part of the Mac distribution; you can find it online here, or perhaps more conveniently download and unpack the sources separately e.g. from here (then you'll find the freeze directory right under the Tools directory in the unpacked tree of sources).

Answer 2

In addition to the built-in freeze, you might want to look at some of the third-party variations on the same idea. I keep this list bookmarked.

Answer 3

If you're just targetting *nix systems, I've found this recipe to be pretty helpful on occassion.

Answer 4

I haven't used this project, however, I believe that this website is what you are after: http://svn.pythonmac.org/py2app/py2app/trunk/doc/index.html
