I would like to create a Python (stand-alone executable) program on a Windows machine and deploy the finished product on other Windows machines (of varying Windows OS versions) and also on Mac machines (of varying Mac OS versions.) The program would present a GUI that the user would interact with and would only have simple computations. I looks like I could do the creation work twice (once for Windows and once for Mac) and then also create separate install packages. However, I would like to only do the creation work once and do it on a Windows machine and then be able to deploy to either Win or Mac. I understand that will mean separate intstallation packages due to the different environments. Is this possible? I do not think that it is, but asking just to be sure. If so, what tools do I use to do the packaging? Do I use py2app for the Mac?
renpy at renpy.org lets one develop script for a python-based visual novel, simulation game (or similar visual app) and deploy on windows, linux, and mac. Push a button and its creates 3 installation packages. I have no idea how it does so, but it is open source.
I just checked and it now also deploys to android 2.3+ and ios6+ (in beta). -- Terry Jan Reedy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
