How to install the py2exe modul in Linux

Question

I downloaded the actual py2exe package. But I've no idea how to get it in my system. I mean I can follow the tutorial a 100% but I can't find anything how to install py2exe to my kubuntu 11.10. I also can't find a py2exe.py which I could include to my workingfolder.

Could some please help me the project has to be finish till tomorrow?

Thanks for your help

cheers, Chris

For linux, have a look at freeze http://wiki.python.org/moin/Freeze — Fredrik Pihl, Apr 04 '12 at 11:09
@Fredrik In linux, why not just make the script executable with chmod? — user850498, Apr 04 '12 at 11:36
@user850498 - sometimes you don't want to ship the code. py2exe allows someone to run a python program on a machine where python isn't installed. — Fredrik Pihl, Apr 04 '12 at 12:23

Py2exe has to run on Windows, you can not run it in Linux. (Maybe wine can help, but I'm not sure)

You need a way to generate a certificate file to use py2exe. Try pyinstaller instead.
