Yes it is. First you will need to compile the C portion of pygtk
statically into a python executable (this executable doesn't need to
replace your existing python installation -- best to install this under a
different prefix), along with any other C extensions you want to use in
your program. I gave instructions on how to do this for pygtk a few days
ago in the archives.
Then use the freeze script distributed with python to create an executable
containing the python portion of your program.
If you miss the first part, the executable will require the extensions
compiled as shared libraries.
Note that although freezing a python program may be good in situations
where people don't have python, the executables are a lot larger. If you
are providing a number of these executables, it may be better to just
install python on the machine (or a cut down version of it, if you find it
to be too big).
I don't know what the instructions for setting this up are for win32
though.
