The new version of py2exe apparently allows one to package up your python application in a single (though relatively large) exe, instead of a group of pyc and zip files. I haven't tried this out, though.

I'm writing a quick unix modification to the Python installer which should allow people to create Python executables... not sure if i'm going to succeed or not. It'll be fun to try.

i didn't even know it was problematic to create .exe's with python, considering it's bruce eckel's "favorite language" and all. i have python, i just haven't really played with it much. thanks for the links guys!

It would be great and near impossible if someone made a commandline Python to C++ converter.
It could convert Python into C++ code, then use g++ to compile it to an executable.

Good luck with that one. There are too many high-level things in Python, such as its weird for loop, for that to happen easily. You'd also have to port all the functions it uses, which would be almost impossible.

It could be done, but... yeah, it would be a lot of work. It's not near impossible because py2c had a good stab at it (but produced modules and not executables), and pyrex does something vaguely similar.

Well well, speak of of the devil eh? I just saw this on osnews:

Python to C++ compiler

I downloaded and tried that program, it didn't really work that well, even on a simple python script.
IMO it is easier to convert python to c++ by hand than use that.
