There is a common misconception among developers who come from a
Windows background that you cannot distribute commerial programs for
linux because there is no way to "bind them into an exe"

You can easily make a tarball containing your .pyd files and not your
.py source code, and sell that to Linux users.

For some examples of commercial games that are distributed this way, see:
