I can build most of them myself

If you do, please contribute them by sending them to Bob I.

As in, I can do "setup.py install" and install them for myself. How do
I build a distributable package?

Get Py2app, then use:

bdist_mpkg

bdist_mpkg -z will produce a zipped .pkg and save you a step...

Is there a flag that will make a .dmg instead of a .zip? If not, I'd
like to look into contributing one. (I find dmg convenient because it
can just be ejected after the installation; it doesn't have to be
deleted).

No, there isn't, and I'd rather not have one.

I prefer zip because it can be processed without proprietary tools. If
I really needed to get at the contents of a package from a BSD box I
could unzip it and then pax out the files. If it was in a DMG I'd be
screwed.

I'm -0 on adding support for DMGs. Using a DMG doesn't buy enough over a zip to warrant spending time on it.
