You can also use UPX for those purposes. UPX Download - https://github.com/upx/upx/releases/tag/v3.96

Use UPX with the module 'PyInstaller' for better results(somewhat).

PyInstaller Download - https://pypi.org/project/pyinstaller/ PyInstaller Documentation - https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

PyInstaller with UPX - https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/usage.html?#using-upx

Using 'Cython' to compile the C/C++ file generated using any compiler requires the 'Include' folder in the python 'installation' folder to be added to the 'PATH' variable (on windows).
