Like Tim and Steve,  I would suggest not bothering to compile to a single
executable.

I've had pretty good luck using Anaconda Python to provide a known,
testable environment, and using "conda constructor" to make single-file
installers for easy distribution and deployment for users on all
platforms.  This installs an isolated Python environment and a selection of
packages of you choosing, with a large selection of available Python
modules, including (binaries of) wxpython4.  There are some challenges with
this (each platform has its own quirks), but the result is pretty easy to
work with.
