This is really meant for monkmartinez, but you're right.

I'd like to add, that blog can be dismissed outright. It's also out of date in regards to PyInstaller. It does support Python3 now. 2.7;3.3-3.5. I've used PyInstaller for years and prefer it over the other packaging solutions, it's really good.

I wouldn't be digging up old blogs as a source for dirt and relying on any information within without verifying it was or still is true.
