Short answer - "you can't".

Well that is not entirely true but requires quite a bunch of work and
depends greatly what kind of 3rd party libs your project uses.

Keyword here is cx_Freeze [1] or py2exe [2]. If you're lucky it might
work with little effort but if everything else fails you can always do
it by creating special script to gather all the required parts.
