Not entirely true anymore. Nuitka (nuitka.net) has been able to compile python programs to a single stand alone executable reliably, robustly and easily for a while now. It's a real gem and deserves to be more popular. We are very far from the quirks of pyinstaller or cxfreeze : it just works, even with numpy or qt. Yes, go is still superior for deployment : - it can cross compile - executables are smaller - it's built in so it's just an easier experience - it doesn't depend on libc But it's important to spread the word: the time were your python program was hard to ship is over. Just use nuitka.
