Package Python project along with dependencies to another machine without internet and different OS

As the title suggests, I have a computer running mac os with a python project. I so have a windows computer without internet, with Python 3.6, and with pip.

The project in question relies on a couple pip package dependencies. Is there anyway to package everything together so that the project can work on the windows machine with no internet?

To some extent pip allows to download a package with dependencies for a different platform. Try

pip download --only-binary=:all: --platform win_amd64 --implementation cp --python-version=3.6 --abi=cp36m 'put-your-package-name-here'

If the package and all its dependencies provide binary wheels pip downloads all of them into the current directory. Move them to the offline computer and run there

pip install --find-links=\path\to\wheels\directory 'your-package'

If the package and all its dependencies provide only source distribution try

pip download --only-binary=:none: --platform win_amd64 --implementation cp --python-version=3.6 --abi=cp36m 'your-package'

But if the package and dependencies are mixed — some have binary wheels and some only sdists — pip fails to download dependencies. There is no solution for this situation. The only workaround is to run Windows on your MacOS — in an emulator or a container.

PS. I use platform win_amd64 as an example. If you have 32-bit Windows or if you have 32-bit Python on a 64-bit Windows — use platform win32.
