How do I make an executable from a Python script?

See http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/ for a distutils extension that allows you
to create console and GUI executables from Python code.
`py2exe <http://www.py2exe.org/>`_, the most popular extension for building
Python 2.x-based executables, does not yet support Python 3 but a version that

named ``foo.pyd``, then it must have a function ``PyInit_foo()``. You can then
