I'm trying to create a self-contained version of pisa (html to pdf converter, latest version), but I can't succeed due to several errors. I've tried py2exe, bb-freeze and cxfreeze.

This has to be in windows, which makes my life a bit harder. I remember that a couple of months ago the author had a zip file containing the install, but now it's gone, leaving me only with the python dependent way.

How would you work this out?

Check out pyinstaller, it makes standalone executables (as in one .EXE file, and that's it).
