Nuitka (nuitka.net) does that for python, and is very robust and compatible. It works way better than py2exe, cx_freeze, etx, and is cross platform. However, the result, even for small scripts, is not what I would qualify as "small" :) I also like pex (https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex) which allows to bundle a whole venv as a python script. Less heavy than nuitka, doesn't make it stand alone though, but very handy for quick and dirty scripts I want to one shot on my servers. That doesn't remove any merit to nim. Such a cool project.

Nuitka also improves performance. It has halved the startup time for a command line tool that I wrote.

However, the result, even for small scripts, is not what I would qualify as "small" :) How does Nuitka compare for generated executable sizes with PyInstaller? I've used the latter. For small Python scripts, CLI or wxPython, it created EXEs (Windows) in the range of 10 MB in size - with the all-code-in-one-file option.
