I'm a contributor to cx_Freeze, and I'm curious why it doesn't work for you. You should be able to create a tarball that includes all of the required libraries. Distros prefer all the dependencies packaged separately, but if you want to distribute it yourself, making one big package should work. cx_Freeze does roughly the same job as PyInstaller, but it's compatible with Python 3 (and PyInstaller isn't, last time I checked).
