Adding to what Andreas and Ilya both said:

I've had best success with cxfreeze on python 3 (with a somewhat complex
PyQt5/python3.4 application, which uses various other C extensions as well).

There's a py3 branch of pyinstaller that almost worked (had a problem with
pywin32). Pyinstaller worked out of the box for the py2 version of the
above mentioned app.

I'll second what Ilya said about testing on a different machine to make
sure all the DLLs/etc were included as well.
