If you're thinking that py2exe makes Python programs run faster
on Windows, you're assuming wrongly. All it does is bundle up
the bytecode files with a copy of the interpreter into a
convenient package.

There's a tool called "freeze" that allows you to do something
similar on unix systems, but it won't make anything run faster
either.

The only way to improve speed is to re-code the cpu-intensive
parts using something more efficent, such as C or Pyrex.
