how to send my game made with pygame to others?

Question

I'm new to making games with pygame and my first attempt is still a work in progress, but I was wondering how to publish or send my game to my friends who don't have pygame so that they can play it. I looked online but haven't found anything useful.

Answer 1

You can package your project into a standalone distributable application that has its own python environment.

OSX: py2app
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/py2app/

Linux: pyinstaller
http://www.pyinstaller.org/

Win: py2exe
http://www.py2exe.org/

Note, you can use pyinstaller cross platform. I just have had good personal experience with this mix.
