I've used some of the bundling tools mentioned here to build a
standalone distributable app:

I'm not sure whether any of these pre-compiles your source to bytecode
and whether the distributable must include the source python files or
not, but it's a place to start. Python bytecode is certainly not
immune from reverse-engineering, but it's a big step better than raw
source with comments.
You could also look at pyobfuscator:
