python is a cross platform scripting language. the script you write can be be run in different platform with the condition that you have python installed. there's some case that it's not. 1- when using certain kernel functionalities like for example sniff 3g packets or injecting fragmented packets using scapy that some os doesn't support. 2-using a platform depending package like pywinpathk 3-being super dumb to call platform depending executable or binary like tasklist or lastlog...

yes you can. Pyinstaller is a python module that take you python script or module and pack it into a standalone executable. You need to know that this executable are not cross platform. if you run Pyinstaller in *nix environment, you will get a Linux executable. And if you run in Windows, you will get a Windows executable. the advantage is that you don't need to alter the code for every platform.
