AFIAK, you have to use a Windows system to create a windows
executable. In the past, I used py2exe+InnoSetup for both tkinter and
wxPython Windows apps. But, py2exe seems to be a dead project and the
last time I tried to use it (a couple years ago) I couldn't get it to
work on recent Windows+Python versions.
Currently I use cx_freeze+InnoSetup for tkinter apps. (I no longer
have any wxPython apps I maintain for Windows.) Another popular
option is PyInstaller, but I've never tried it.
