   1. '''Can I package OS X binaries while running under Linux?''' [[BR]] This is currently not possible at all. Sorry! If you want to help out, you are very welcome.
  1. '''Does !PyInstaller build a real installer like NSIS or !InstallShield?''' [[BR]] No, despite its name (which has more to do with its historical roots), !PyInstaller is used to transform a Python program into a native executable form which does not require existing Python installations to run. Building an installer program is totally outside the scope of !PyInstaller.
