Hi
 
I want to create a standalone application which is cross platform executable file of the current OpenCV work in python, I have done.
 
I found cx_freeze, 
which is mentioned as being 
cx_Freeze is a set of scripts and modules for freezing Python scripts into executables, in much the same way that py2exe and py2app do. Unlike these two tools, cx_Freeze is cross platform and should work on any platform that Python itself works on. It supports Python 2.7 or higher (including Python 3).
 
I would like to know if anyone has create a similar standalone cross platform executable file for the work they have done in python using OpenCV?
 
Please guide and share your thoughts if cx_freeze is good enough or is there any other alternative?

please understand, that opencv is mainly a c++ library, the cv2 bindings are only shallow wrappers around that. 
so, you won't be able, to make it portable between platforms.
