How To Install python 3.4 3.5 and up on Linux with wine - Working Solution

This is sure simple if you follow the guide but it took a lot of hacking around to make this work on Debian/Ubuntu!
Now before you ask why bother running wine and python, the reason is because Python executables are NOT cross-platform.  If you run pyinstaller in Linux, that binary will only run on Linux and the same if you do it in Windows.  So it is preferable if you have a single environment that you can create Linux and Windows binaries from rather than running 2 separate ones.  The best way to do that is wine if you have the patience to make it work!

python 3.5 and up doesn't install properly in wine 2.4.  It doesn't even show the install button
#but it seems OK if you installed vcrun2015 and just click in the middle of the installer it seems to complete (if it doesn't complete and gives an error this is because you didn't install vcrun2015 with winetricks).

#1 Use Wine 2.4
apt install add-apt-repository
add-apt-repository ppa:wine/wine-builds
apt install --install-recommends winehq-devel

#2 Use winetricks (a newer one that what is available in the repo)
wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
./winetricks -q win10
./winetricks vcrun2015

#how to install like pip

wine python -m pip install pyinstaller

 

Some of the hacking around I did to figure this out: :)
