I'm no expert, but installing pyinstaller in wine works for me. I admit, though, that I have only tried it with one file, which I wanted to send to my brother. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04, and the command: wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Python34/Scripts/pyinstaller.exe --onefile bin/GradientProfile_v2.py produces a file that my brother can run on his Windows 10 machine.
