We are providing standalone binaries linux, windows and osx using them. It is true that python is not packaged but I don't see this any blocking issue to include python. Incase of OTB inclusion of python wasn't a requirement or priority for me. You can rely on osgeo4mac or whatever rather than otb's superbuild setup. Packaging scripts are mostly cmake and a small percentage of shell scripts.
