creating stand-alone executable for windows from python code

I have a python code which uses the pygkt, gtk, ctypes, os and some other modules. I used pyinstaller to create a stand-alone executive of the code. It worked fine on ubuntu. Now I wanted to create another stand-alone executive for windows platform. I used the tool https://github.com/paulfurley/python-windows-packager for it and followed the steps. But I got the error: module gtk not found. How to fix the issue ? Are there any other tools to convert python code to stand-alone executable for windows os ? If yes, please provide the details ? Thank you

If in Windows, Best way to do it is via Cygwin. Ensure you have Python 3.5+ version not 3.6

pip install pyinstaller

Go to the directory where the .py file is which needs to be packaged.

Then run 

$ pyinstaller --onefile test.py

Simple to have a single file executable.

I'd recommend using pyinstaller

Example:

$ pip install pyinstaller
$ pyinstaller -F myscript.py

You should now have a build/myscript/myscript.exe executable.
