Ask HN: I am creating an exe from Python. Which is the best way and why?

Some options I know are py2exe, nuitka, or cx_freeze. Any others?

Best in which way?

I want the exe to run outside the python shell and also want to hide my source code. There are so many options but I am sure there must be one of them that stands out.

Best way to do it is to rewrite it for a different runtime. You have chosen your language poorly to this task.
