I have had success with PyInstaller: 
http://pyinstaller.python-hosting.com/ It produces a self contained 
executable, either a single file or a directory, and can handle both 
Linux and Windows. Just remember that you need to add a hook to SIP to 
make it work with PyQt (Create a file under /hooks in your PyInstaller 
directory named "hook-PyQt4.py" that contain the line "hiddenimports = 
['sip']")
