Your Python source code is only a very small part of the code. Unfortunately, if you're not going to go to the effort of getting your executables signed and added to the full ecosystem, this sort of hassle is going to be eternal. It's yet another way that turning Python scripts into executables is a ridiculous amount of hassle. Yet another reason to just distribute .py files.
