Packaging a Python project into a standalone executable is often a struggle. Thankfully we have tools like PyInstaller to make this easier. Recently I ran into another struggle of my own, which was that it seemed impossible to “cross-compile” with PyInstaller. That is to say, run PyInstaller on one OS, and have it generate an executable for another. It was hinted at that Linux → Windows was possible using Wine, but I couldn’t find any guides on it.
