py2exe

is a distutils extension which allows to build standalone Windows executable programs (32-bit and 64-bit) from Python scripts. Python versions included in the official development cycle are supported (from 3.6 to 3.9 included).

py2exe

can build console executables and windows (GUI) executables. Building windows services, and DLL/EXE COM servers might work but it is not actively supported.

Development of

py2exe
