Long answer:
No indeed. But if he were to have a Windows computer, he could
generate a standalone executable from a Python program using one of
the following tools:
py2exe: http://www.py2exe.org/
PyInstaller: http://www.pyinstaller.org/
But one can't generate such a standalone executable for a different
operating system from that which one's computer runs.
Cheers,
Chris

my win xp machine.

s/operating system/platform
Good luck getting PyInstaller to output for Windows when being run on
a *nix box.

you think virtualbox could help? i wonder if one could run linux/
py2exe virtually on a win machine and get it working.

Of course that works, a virtual windows machine is just a windows
machine ;-).
Also that you can't do a "cross compilation" sounds to me more a
limitation of the tool than a true impossibility.

Doesn't py2exe works under wine ? I have had great success building
windows installers on linux through wine (although not with py2exe),
