You will need a Windows pc to build it on. On this Windows pc you will want to install python, gtk, pygobject, pycairo, pygtk, py2exe, and SetupTools. Also you will need any other dependency/module your app might need but SetupTools should make that easier to pull off. Also you will need to remove anything in your application that would not be available to Windows. (i.e. Unity Bindings). Then you would run your app through Py2Exe and install it. Its not going to be a cake walk but its possibly possible :) Good Luck and Godspeed
