How to create an OS X application with Python on Windows

Question

I need to automate cross-platform build applications. The whole assembly is done on a Windows computer. Part of it is written in Python and compiled for OS X. Currently, this part of the assembly is done manually on OS X.

I tried pyinstaller, but it looks like it is only for the platform it runs on. I also tried py2app, but it did not install on Windows.

Are there any tools to compile a Python script into an OS X application on a Windows computer?
