Can the .exe run on Mac, Linux, or other platforms?

I created a .exe out of .py by using the PyInstaller on Windows. Can this .exe run on Mac, Linux, or other platforms?

As for mac, no .exe will not work.

In general, pyinstaller would have to be run on each os to make an executable specifically for that os.

Nope. Executable formats for Windows are completely different from those used on other OSes. You might be able to run them in Linux under WINE, but they're not natively compatible with any other OS.
