There are packagers for all three main platforms. py2exe for Windows, py2app for Mac, and PyInstaller for Linux. Each platform has its own conventions, and distributing your app with that in mind makes sense. I've only ever really used py2exe, which works wonderfully. There isn't any dll hell because I just roll all dependencies into the exe. Makes for a larger exe (25 MB or so), but nobody's complained about that so far and it is a breeze to maintain.
