Answer 3

On windows, the standard python installer already associates the .py extension with a file type - python.file and give that file type an open command that runs the pythong interpreter. This is enough to make scripts executables. But if you wish to use just the name without the extension, you will have to put '.py' to the PATHTEXT environment variable.

if that doesn't satisfy you, do "pip install cx_freeze" without quotes. Its for freezing python scripts into executables and it cross platform and works on anyy platform that python itself works on. It supports python 2.7 and above.

EDIT:
I was in a hurry, so couldn't give an example on the usage. here it goes,

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

setup(name='foo',
version ='0.1',
description='example for conversion',
executables= [Executable('foo.py')]
)
# save this as setup.py or by any other name but #that's a convention which the community follows.

open the command prompt and navigate to where your setup.py is and run :
python setup.py build

this will create a build directory which will Jabe another directory which will Jabe everything you want alomg with the .exe file for your .py file.

Note: make sure setup.py amd you python file, here foo.py are in the same directory.
