That would be my preference. The less files, the less steps the
better. I have noticed that all the package tools (e.g. pyinstaller,
Py2Exe, Py2App, cxfreeze) approach the problem the same way, with spec
files, paths, etc., running multiple commands. But, in the end, I
think a simple and intuitive setup is always better. Nobody would care
about waiting 10-15 more seconds for the build to finish. (It's not
exactly like we're building the distribution multiple times in a short
time span.

What attracted me to pyinstaller was the philosophy of everything
working out of the box. (It's also the *only* tool that can produce a
single standalone exe, which is very nice). Making the run procedure
always a single step would build on that philosophy. Have you seen the
PerlApp tool? In my view, something equivalent to that would be
fantastic.
