You are doing the right thing zipping it up yourself instead of relying on bdist_egg. Eggs are a plugin or package format and are not designed to be directly runnable.
There are some utilities to help you make executable zip files: https://docs.python.org/dev/library/zipapp.html https://pex.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ If you find it helpful to create your executable more manually, you could unzip the egg and __main__.py into a directory and then zip everything back up.
