There are a few more sophisticated tools around but py2exe is
usually considered the easy option.

But are you sure you really need an EXE?
The size of a bundled python install, which can be optionally
loaded if not alteady there, is not excessive in modern PC
software terms and many environments nowadays do not
use pure exe's - VB, .NET, Java Smalltalk, etc

So why not just ship Python? And if you writre a lot of code 
installing
python will use up less memory in the long term since you won't
have a copy of the interpreter hiding inside every app!
