$ python setup.py build bdist_wininst
running build
running build_py
running bdist_wininst
installing to build/bdist.linux-i686/wininst
running install_lib
creating build/bdist.linux-i686/wininst
creating build/bdist.linux-i686/wininst/PURELIB
copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.6/wget.py -> build/bdist.linux-i686/wininst/PURELIB
running install_egg_info
Writing build/bdist.linux-i686/wininst/PURELIB/wget-0.6.egg-info
creating '/tmp/tmpQQZI5O.zip' and adding '.' to it
adding 'PURELIB/wget-0.6.egg-info'
adding 'PURELIB/wget.py'
creating dist
Warning: Can't read registry to find the necessary compiler setting
Make sure that Python modules _winreg, win32api or win32con are installed.
removing 'build/bdist.linux-i686/wininst' (and everything under it)
$ ls dist
wget-0.6.linux-i686.exe
