Is a python script faster when you convert it to a .exe using py2exe? [closed]

Question

I am really bad at compiling programs, and I just want to know if my python 2.5 program would be faster if I converted it to a .exe using py2exe. I don't want to spend a lot of time trying to compile it if it will just be slower in the end. My program uses OpenCV and PyAudio, but I think that are the only non pure-python modules it uses. Thanks!

NOTE: I do not think this question requires a snippit of code, but if it does, please say so in the comments. Thanks!

No, not really. Since it's merely a wrapper it provides the necessary files needed to run your code. Using Cython could make your program run faster by being able to compile it using C.
