Can tell you the first part of your question: you name your "example.py" just "example", add as its first line "#!/usr/bin/python" and make it executable ("chmod +x example"). Voila, a "Linux executable" :-).

As for the second part of your question, I found this using Google: http://www.py2exe.org/. Hopefully that is about what you're looking for?

Best regards and good luck,
Raphael
