  Nuitka is a Python compiler written in Python. It's fully compatible with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11. You feed it your Python app, it does a lot of clever things, and spits out an executable or extension module.

  

Nuitka cross compiles your app into C++ then compiled that to create a signed binary. https://github.com/Nuitka/Nuitka.

I tried them all and NSIS is the best tool I found to make Python bundles for Windows, especially for GUI frameworks such as Qt. It a bit of trial and error at first but it works great then. There is a Python wrapper called pynsist so you can simply call pynsist nsis.cfg to package your project. See here for an example config file.

• briefcase

  3 2,317 9.8 Python

  Tools to support converting a Python project into a standalone native application.

  

Another option for packaging Python apps is the BeeWare project Briefcase (https://github.com/beeware/briefcase). The only limitation that exists in your specific case is Tkinter - Briefcase doesn't support packaging Tkinter apps, but it does support Qt and Toga (BeeWare's GUI toolkit) Toga; Toga is design to be as approachable as Tkinter.
