You can try them all but probably Pyinstaller (grab the development snapshot if possible). > I'm concerned with reliability of packaging (wanting to distribute to PCs > that have nothing installed on them - no Python, no PyQt), and the size of > the resulting executable.

Pyinstaller > Doesn't the compression make loading of the .exe considerably longer? No. Maybe even shorter because uncompressing may be on today's computers less expensive than reading a big file from disk.
