Windows Installer for a Python application created on Linux

Suppose I have a working application written in Python on some Linux distribution, I would like to know whether it is possible to create an executable file for Windows on Linux using pyinstaller or another similar program and how to create some kind of Windows installer for this program that will put the program and some data into the appropriate directory. Any advice is appreciated!

Thank!

I have successfully used PyInstaller running Wine to create an executable that runs on Windows. Set up your Wine environment on Linux by putting a copy of PyInstaller in the appropriate location. for example drive_c\pyinstaller-2.0.

Also install Python for Windows in the Wine environment. You must use the parameter msiexecto start the Python installer.

wine msiexec /i python-2.6.6.msi

You may also need to install other dependencies, such as pywin32.

Then just run PyInstaller in your spec file:

wine c:/Python26/Python.exe c:/pyinstaller-2.0/pyinstaller.py <spec_file>

, . exe , NSIS, . , NSIS Wine Linux, .
