Is there an Eclipse add-on to build a python executable for distribution?

Question

I want to build an executable to distribute to people without python installed on their machines.

Is there an add-on to Eclipse that allows this? I couldn't find one.

If not, do you have a builder that you recommend that would make it easy to go to my python project directory created in Eclipse, and bundle it all up?

Thanks, Mark

It's not eclipse, but ActiveState's ActivePython FAQ mentions the freeze utility, which sounds like it might be close to what you're asking for.

For Windows, there's the py2exe project.

There's bbfreeze, and PyInstaller, and py2app, also.
