I wound up doing:
1) pyinstaller, as normal, but this created a broken all-encompassing
binary of my script.  At least it gave me the metadata I needed though.
2) overwriting /Applications/hcm.app/Contents/MacOS/hcm with a proper
#!/usr/bin/env python3 script

This mostly works.  It's a kinda ugly hack, and it doesn't stay in the dock
after starting it.

There should be a way of installing a python GUI in the macOS Applications
list, without having to bundle everything up into a big binary.
