I need to compile a python script for a project. I am programming it in my Linux(Ubuntu) environment, and I need to have the finalized product be a .exe file to run on windows.

--It needs to be compiled so that the windows machine receiving it doesn't need to have a python environment installed on it.--

I know pyinstaller can compile scripts into executables, but it doesn't do cross-compiling. An older version of pyinstaller does, but it only supports python2.6

The problem is, I need python 2.7 or 3.+ for my project.

Is there a program I can use to accomplish this, or maybe a workaround... something?
