Precisely. At the moment, the story seems to be "if you're on Windows,
use py2exe, if you're on OSX use py2app, or on Unix, ..., or..."
What would be a compelling story is "to build your app into a single
file executable, do "python -m build <myapp>". The machinery behind
the build can be as different as necessary - but being able to use the
same command on every platform is the goal.
The python-based ren'py visual novel development system has something
like this When one is ready to publish, there is an easy option to
build single-file downloadable redistributables for any or all of
Windows, Linux, and Mac. I know it works as far as it goes because I
help my wife use the system not for a novel, but a photo-based tutorial.
After testing the resulting files with the help of others on linux and
mac systems (we developed on Windows), she put the files up on one of
her university pages.
As far as I know, the build code should be Python, if anyone want to
look at it.
