cx_Freeze is a set of scripts and modules for freezing Python scripts (.py) into executable files for Windows (.exe), Mac OS (.app), or Linux.

cx_Freeze is a set of scripts and modules for freezing Python scripts (.py) into executable files for Windows (.exe), Mac OS (.app), or Linux, in much the same way that py2exe and py2app do. These executable files can run on a system without Python installed.

cx_Freeze works with Python versions 2.7 to 3.8.

For Python version 2.7, the latest stable version of cx_Freeze is 5.1.1 (released December 2017) which can be downloaded here: https://pypi.org/project/cx-Freeze/5.1.1/

For Python versions 3.0 to 3.4, the latest stable version of cx_Freeze is 5.0.2 (released May 2017) which can be downloaded here: https://pypi.org/project/cx-Freeze/5.0.2/

For Python versions 3.5 to 3.8, the latest stable version of cx_Freeze is 6.1 (released January 2020) which can be downloaded here: https://pypi.org/project/cx-Freeze/6.1/
