Making Python 3.3.3 scripts executable?

Question

I've googled and googled, and everything I've seen has directed me to py2exe. I've looked at it and downloaded the latest version of it, but it says I have to have Python 2.6 to use it! Does this mean I have to use Python 2.6 rather than 3.3.3, or is there an alternative to py2exe?

Edit: Thanks! I can now use cxFreeze, but is there a way I can compile it further so I don't have to run it from a different folder? Or should I create a batch file calling the .exe from the command line and convert the batch file to an executable?

The latest version of py2exe (0.9.2) support python 3 http://sourceforge.net/p/py2exe/feature-requests/20/

Also you can try cx_Freeze it's like py2exe but cross platform.

On most *nix systems it is sufficient to put #!/usr/bin/python as the first line of the main script and then chmod +x /path/to/script.py.

It's kind of obvious that OP is using Windows

/usr/bin/python is usually Python 2.x. /usr/bin/python3 or /usr/bin/env python3 would be better.
