Python - create an EXE that runs code as written, not as it was when compiled

Question

I\'m making a pygame program that is designed to be modular. I am building an exe with pygame2exe of the file main.py, which basically just imports the real main game and ru

Answer 1

Last summer I have been struggling with the same problem - build single .exe from python script. However there was no PyGame, but there was a PyQt5, which added some problems alike. None of the pure standard tools helped me.

Finally I'd solved the problem with a chaine: make + Py2exe + 7Zip + Resource Hacker. This set gave me single .exe with all the resources onboard, which don't require installaton - so you can put it everywhere on windows box and run.

Here's detailed article: exe built with cx_Freeze, PyQt5, Python3 can't import ExtensionLoader_PyQt5_QtWidgets.py and run
