Packaging my kivy app to an executable

I have developed a kivy app with linux and now I want to package into an exuctable with windows. I've seen some tutorials of cx_freeze but when I have packaged the app crashes when I try to open the file that is created. Somebody knows what this is happening? I attach here the code of the modules I have to import to the script to get the hole app. Thanks

not sure, not an expert but why develop in linux then run it on windows?  I would avoid windows altogether, no one should use windows for development or production.  linux is the standard - use it in a VM for development, emulating production.  also I noticed issues with ubuntu 14 being slow and having python3 bugs.  upgraded to ubuntu 16 and its faster and smoother, no bugs.  maybe this helps

The fact is that I would like to package my kivy app for another environment (for example windows). I thought that it was easy but the fact is that I don't know how to package the external modules that aren't provided by python (icalendar module for example). In linux the apps works fine but I don't know how to package into a debian file.
