I don't think it's possible out-of-box. You would have to have the
Python.framework unpacked on your disk, and you would have to hack
py2app to grab everything from it instead of trying to grab it from the
Python that's running it. There's probably quite few other things that
make it impossible entirely, too.

Without a Mac to test it on, there's no point in pursuing that option.

Ask your Mac users for volunteers.
