I'm using PyInstaller on Win10. It works well, although the single-file binaries get slower as I add more libraries because it starts by extracting that single file out into a temporary directory and then running it. It's a personal project so I like to experiment, but it's also a CLI program that accepts command line arguments, runs, and then exits, so a 3-5 second delay _each_time_ it runs is pretty painful. Luckily for me there's a 'single directory' option, which puts everything (uncompressed) into a folder. Snappy start because there's no decompression step, and while I like the idea of a single file .exe it turns out I don't really need that (I'm not copying the program from computer to computer). So - thumbs up for PyInstaller!
