No, there's no such thing as a free MacOS, any more than
there is a free Windows. And MacOS only runs on Apple

there is a kind of free Windows, though, i mean WINE.

i don't know if it is possible to run py2exe in wine to produce a bundle with dlls that'd then work in the microsoft versions, perhaps (at least using the ms dlls i guess, but then it would not be the fully free wine anymore ..) and i have no idea how things go with sdl & opengl there.

based on some quick googling it seems people have tried and had problems, someone in May 2005 is recommending "Linux Gordon McMillan Installer is a better choice (instead of pyexe + wine + whatever)" http://archives.devshed.com/forums/python-122/wx-on-windows-py2exe-not-work-on-linux-wine-411234.html

seems that py2exe not working in wine is a reported bug in the wine tracker,
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3591 and there are some details about the probs (incomplete win implementation in some parts of wine). so it seems nothing in principle is stopping it.


i have quite regularily had to use a win box just to run py2exe on some pygame apps otherwise developed on linux, so would not mind getting deployment more straightforward .. especially if some of those apps really start getting more widely used & dev needs more demanding. perhaps should check that linux macmillan tool some day.
