How to make an executable for a python project

Sorry if my title is not correct. Below is the explanation of what i'm looking for.

I've coded a small GUI game (let say a snake game) in python, and I want it to be run on Linux machine. I can run this program by just run command "python snake.py" in the terminal.

However, I want to combine all my .py files into one file, and when I click on this file, it just run my game. I don't want to go to shell and type "python snake.py". I means something like manifest .jar in java.

Could any one help me please? If my explanation is not good enough, please let me know. I'll give some more explanation.

If you only want it to run on a Linux machine, using Python eggs is the simplest way.

python snake.egg will try to execute the main.py inside the egg.

Python eggs are meant to be packages, and basically is a zip file with metadata files included.

You can use Freeze for Unix, or py2exe for Windows.

cx_freeze, PyInstaller, bbfreeze and py2app - which I have never tried - are also available for various platforms, so there are many options.
