Decrease in effort packaging your app as an exe file: -10% Increase in effort writing your app in C# in the first place: +800% *semi-wink* But seriously... 1. *None of* the stdlib freeze tool, or any of the third-party projects cx_Freeze, py2app, py2exe or PyInstaller, work for you? 2. Python is pre-installed on pretty much all Linux and BSD systems, and Mac OS, and is trivially installed on Windows from the Microsoft app store. Getting a complete install of Python couldn't be simpler.
