Creating a Windows executable on a Linux system

[Cecil Westerhof]

I need to write a Python desktop program. I create it on a Linux
system, but it has to run on a Windows system. When looking at how to
create an executable it seems that you need to be on a Windows system
to create a Windows executable. Is this true, or is it possible to
create a Windows executable on a Linux system?

Any pointers about best practice creating a standalone executable are
welcome.
