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)
