I recently discovered that an outdated version of Python was causing my Wx app to run into errors.

I can't install Python 2.7.3 on my Mac, and when I tried it in a virtual machine, py2app was still "compiling" the app after running overnight (my Windows/Linux box has an ≈1GHz processor).

Is there a version of py2app that runs on Windows?

According to the project page and the readme, py2app is directed at creating Mac apps out of python code. Obviously you won't be able to run the final product on a windows machine. But if the question is can you build the app on windows and run it on a mac, then the answer is still no, because if you go to the setup.py, it says 'Operating System :: MacOS :: MacOS X' and there are no forks for windows because it depends on some Mac SDK tools like /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk. Looks like you are out of luck. If you are desperate, try Virtual box to emulate a mac on your windows machine, or be content with a windows build with py2exe

    I discovered virtual Python environments, so that takes care of 2.7.3 on Mac. However, I don't even have a /Developer folder, and py2app runs fine, which is odd. Thanks for the answer, though. It's weird that nobody has ported it to Windows. – tkbx Jan 04 '13 at 20:49

No, There's no way on earth you can run py2app on windows,py2app cannot create a Mac app bundle in windows because it's impossible to do so... Either hackintosh your pc or emulate a mac using QEMU,VMware or VirtualBox!
