Hi monkey, Not a stupid question especially if you're trying to create commercial software and don't want to reveal your source. At any rate, you can use py2exe to create a .exe file. It does have some cons to it since you are compiling an interpreted script but it works fine in this capacity. If you would like to obfuscate your code (disguise it) without an executable you can try pyobfuscate as well. Just Google for these two and you'll find easily.
