How to convert a python file to an executable for Mac, when I don't have a Mac?

Question

I have a Windows computer and I want to make a downloadable executable for a python file I made. I ran PyInstaller and I got a.exe, because I'm using Windows. So that's good.

How do I make one that is compatible with Mac, with only my Windows computer? I don't have a Mac and I don't know what file type they use for executables either.

Answer 1

Not sure if this is possible, since it's more complex than you think.

But anyway, take a look on:

• pyinstaller
• py2app

If this is not working, try to install some virtual environment on your PC from either:

• docker
• virtualization tools like virtualbox or vmware .

Another way is to search for an online machine, eg AWS EC2 with MacOS operating system .
