Do I use py2app for the Mac? renpy at renpy.org lets one develop script for a python-based visual novel, simulation game (or similar visual app) and deploy on windows, linux, and mac. Push a button and its creates 3 installation packages. I have no idea how it does so, but it is open source. I just checked and it now also deploys to android 2.3+ and ios6+ (in beta). -- Terry Jan Reedy
