Googling is an art...   :-)

I found that Python for the Mac comes with a "BuildApplication.py" script 
that does something similar as py2exe on Windows:

"""Create a standalone application from a Python script.

This puts up a dialog asking for a Python source file ('TEXT').
The output is a file with the same name but its ".py" suffix dropped.
It is created by copying an applet template, all used shared libs and 
then adding 'PYC ' resources containing compiled versions of all used 
modules written in Python and the main script itself, as __main__.
