How to compile .py file?
Python doesn't compile the code, it interpret it, it doesn't make exe file.
The .py will remain .py in runtime.

Exactly, why compile it at all ? You can write a very simple executable file for windows and linux to execute the .py file without compiling the file itself.

You'll have to compile it or convert it to .exe if you're on windows.
EDIT:
I think a better way is to keep the file as it is(so that you can modify it whenever you want to), and make a separate executable file to execute python script.

yes its possible i think its called pyinstaller or px_freeze (im not sure). its cx_freeze not px_freeze i just look it up
but its kinda beat the crossplatform concept, since exe only able to run natively in windows
