With venvs, it seems like it should be possible to have a very
simple tool that just packages up everything in your venv.

conda is similar -- there is even the "conda
constructor" that will build an installer for a conda environment that
meets your specs. But the fact is that you get a LOT of extra stuff
along with what you need.
My thinking is that you would only add things to the venv that your
app needs, as and when you discover that they're needed. E.g. you
wouldn't add the whole of PyObjC at once, just the submodules you
use.
While this would be more work for the developer, it would allow
the packaging tool to be far simpler and easier to maintain.
Another benefit of working this way is that it's easier to be sure
that the package you create will work on machines other than the
one you developed it on. If it runs in your development environment,
it should run elsewhere too.
