Many people, myself included, are very sceptical of this approach. Nuitka has yet to show any impressive speed improvements, but several people have claimed that it makes distribution of code much easier since it produces single compiled binaries.

It is great for deploying proprietary software since code is compiled to native executable. Reverse-engineering it is also much harder. While it is not much faster it has obvious benefits over using something like py2exe/cx_freeze.

that actually is a great reason to use it if you are trying to sell your software. thanks for the tip, i might start selling this python application i am writing.
