'''py2exe''' is a [[Python (programming language)|Python]] extension which converts Python scripts (.py) into [[Microsoft Windows]] [[executable]]s (.exe). These executables can run on a system without Python installed.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.py2exe.org/ |title=FrontPage |website=py2exe.org |accessdate=2 February 2014}}</ref> It is the most common tool for doing so.<br />
<br />
py2exe was used to distribute [[BitTorrent (software)|the official BitTorrent client]] (before the version 6.0) and is still used to distribute [[SpamBayes]] as well as other projects.<br />
<br />
Since May 2014, version 0.9.2.0 of py2exe is available for Python 3.<ref name="py3exe" /> Before then, py2exe was made only for Python 2,<ref>{{cite web |title=old Python 2 py2exe|url=https://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/py2exe/0.6.9/}}</ref> and it was necessary to use an alternative like cx_Freeze for Python 3 code.<br />
<br />
Although this program transforms a .py file to an .exe, it does not make it run faster because py2exe bundles the Python bytecode without converting it to machine-code. It may even run slower than using the Python interpreter directly because of startup overhead.<br />
