I've got a piece of software which consists of several python sources and a couple of c++ libraries. I'd like to pack them in a executable single file, just like java does with .jar files. Is there a way to do that?

You may want to have a look at py2exe, pyInstaller or others.

That's like packing the class files, the standard library, and the VM. Doesn't sound quite like is being asked. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams May 11 '10 at 18:09

1C extensions and .pyc files are not portable between OSes, Python versions therefore usefulness of binary eggs is debatable. Including python binary as in @UncleZeiv's answer solves part of the problem. – jfs May 11 '10 at 18:42

You can use python egg files, they are very similar to java jar files.
