Python using matplotlib and numpy

I want to share a Python3.3 tool, which for development convenience is split in variuos files/modules; these modules use tkinter, numpy-1.7.0rc1 and matplotlib-1.2.0. My questions is:

is there a way to assemble these files/modules into a single self-standing executable file/script, freeing the not skilled user from installing tkinter, numpy and matplotlib, but only having the python3.3 interpreter installed (default in Ubuntu 13)?

You probably want to use a freezer like:

Both are multi-platform (I do however only Windows, which should be the hardest target for freezing). Im my opinion PyInstaller is more complete/more actively developed in regard to packages with binary/data file dependencies but is rather non-standard if your own package contains data/binaries (write .spec files or hook files). cx_Freeze on the other hand is more standard (write a setup script based on setuptools).

As far as I experienced, both handle the nasty parts of matplotlib and its dependencies well and out of the box (pytz could be hairy on cx_Freeze).

include a python requirement file which contains the versions of the packages or the minimal version of it.

see https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html
