Top Growth Projects

We're always on the lookout for projects that might be doing interesting
things, and a surge in downloads is one of many metrics that we look at
to identify them. Here's the projects that had the greatest growth in
the last month.

py2exe: A distutils extension to create standalone Windows programs from
python scripts.

It is 19th on a list of 19, but still, it is nice to see. I wonder if
there was any particular reason for that?

Yes, but py2exe appears limited to Python 2.6.

PyInstaller is another option with similar functionality.

There are versions for python 2.3 - 2.7:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/py2exe/0.6.9/
(for some reason, 2.6 appears in a more visible link)

However, unfortunately, there isn't any support for python 3 (that I
know of - I'd love to be wrong in this).
