Well, I posted the tutorial which explains it well. Regardless, put this in a file called setup.py in the same location as your script. Put this in setup.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
 
setup(console=["YOURSCRIPTNAME.py"])  # replace with your program's filename
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(console=["YOURSCRIPTNAME.py"])  # replace with your program's filename

Then, open the DOS/MS-Windows command prompt, and move to your script's location. Then use this command:

python setup.py py2exe

That should make your .exe. If you have an error, please type out what it says so I can understand what went wrong!

In case you don't like to bother writing the codes for setup.py, use GUI for Py2exe which can export setup.py
