It can be useful in some cases to compile a complete application into a single binary. Currently, this is difficult to do with Cython and involves several manual steps. Since most of this can be automated, there should be a tool for it.

A part of this is already implemented in the form of the cython_freeze tool and the BuildExecutable helper. Stitching it together into an easy to use "here's my code, drop the binary here" tool should not be all too difficult. Also take a look at Nuitka, which reportedly has a good way of dealing with this.
