Python is build as portable, this means you can just install python for your debian (in fact there is python shipped with debian, but you can install more versions of python). If you have some specific reason to use windows version, wine is not a way to go. Much better (and easier) way is to use VirtualBox and emulate whole windows. Actually You can use the latest python3.7 / python2.7 on wine: basically all You need is to install python on a windows machine (for 'current user', not for 'All Users'), and copy the whole directory to the wine machine. Alternatively You can download it from Python releases download pages. There's three ways we can do this. One is installing using the source. The second is the windows exe in wine. The third is installing via Ubuntu PPA (if you use Ubuntu). Install from source Make sure you have python and pyqt4 installed (python-qt4?) Download the source: (pylotro website is no more).
Wine is a popular utility tool that allows you to easily use Windows applications in Linux environment. In other words, it allows you to run .exe files in Linux. You can also use it to call Windows applications from scripts, or access them remotely. In this article, we will look at how to install & use Wine in Linux.
