* `py2exe <http://www.py2exe.org/>`_ for Windows binaries
* `py2app <https://github.com/ronaldoussoren/py2app>`_ for Mac OS X binaries

The following packages can help with the creation of console and GUI
executables:
* `Nuitka <https://nuitka.net/>`_ (Cross-platform)

that allow you to create console and GUI executables from Python code.
See :ref:`faq-create-standalone-binary` for a list of tools that can be used to
make executables.
Is a ``*.pyd`` file the same as a DLL?
