I believe we could write a plugin that people could download. However, py2exe is Windows-only and development hasn't been keeping up. At this point I think we should put our money on cxFreeze or PyInstaller. The former fully supports Mac, Win, and Lin and Anthony Tuiniga is very responsive with questions and changes. I've spent way too much of my own time trying to get a reliable, efficient deployment for my application on the three platforms and my current cobbled-together solution uses py2app on Mac, PyInstaller on Windows, and cxFreeze on Linux. I'm fairly certain -but haven't tried- that the current trunk version of cxFreeze would work on all three with almost no platform-specific code. The endeavor to provide a cxFreeze plugin would be worth it, if I could just find the time... I really like the approach of PyInstaller (totally separate from distutils/setuptools), so if they get good Mac support soon I could change my stance and recommend it instead.
