I have used py2app. It has worked just fine for me. It is similar to
py2exe, but in my experience a little bit easier.
The only frustrating thing is the inability to set an icon for the
generated app. Mac Icons in general bother me. There is a serious
shortage of good documentation on how they actually work. So far I have
not been able to find any clean way of doing it without using
proprietary third-party tools (unless you don't mind an ugly icon with
no transparency, which is as easy as copying-and-pasting into the "Get
Info" window)
