I'm coming up to an alpha version of A Bit Of Garden which is written using the pygame library and I was wondering what is the best method to package it for download. Should I just use py2exe or is there a better alternative that I'm not aware of?

You also could check out cx_Freeze, though I haven't used it myself, it's supposed to be cross-platform.

Whatever you use please offer a separate minimal folder for people who already have Pygame installed.

I'd suggest Py2Exe if you're deploying for windows and Py2App for Mac.

For my own game I used py2exe for Windows, py2app for Mac and cx_freeze for Linux. All seem to work fine Smiley.

Next time I'm going to try cx_freeze for all platforms.
