Thanks for all your support!

Well Done.

Pyinstaller sounds like a good idea. He's already written it by the sounds of 
it. Is that Go code? I've heard a lot about Go recently.

Hi Rafi,

  I've been looking into things like Py2exe and Pyinstaller, but they
  all require Windows to freeze .exe. Any Idea how I'd go about it on my

https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/wiki/FAQ#features says to use
WINE for production from Linux, and links to a mailing-list thread.
Good luck.

Or, you could use a language that ships a cross-compiling compiler by
default, and includes producing Windows EXEs.  :-)

 $ cat hellow.go
 package main

 import (
 "fmt"
 )

 func main() {
 fmt.Println("Hello, playground")
 }
 $ GOOS=windows go build
 $ file a.out.exe
 a.out.exe: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64 (stripped to external
 PDB), for MS Windows
 $

Cheers, Ralph.

I can send it to the person who asked me to do it, but it could take a 
while to hear back, and that person isn't very proficient in computers 
at all, so useful feedback will likely be rare.

Interesting idea using wine. I don't know if that would work but worth a try. 
I've used py2app before for macOS packaging and its mostly good, if a little 
buggy at times. Would you have a Windows system to test it on?

Greetings all, Rafi here,


Lately I've been asked to code a script for someone using Windows. I'm
using Python and don't have a Windows system myself, but would like to
be able to give them a standalone .exe file.

I've been looking into things like Py2exe and Pyinstaller, but they all
require Windows to freeze .exe. Any Idea how I'd go about it on my

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
