> Currently only supports OSX
Not sure how this is particularly useful then, since OSX ships with python 2.7. Something like this could be useful on Windows / Linux since they don't necessarily have a python installed, or if it was bundling 3.5.

You would either need to do all of your development/testing with the system python or ensure that you're development environment is compatible with the system python (including stuff like distutils.util.get_platform(), https://github.com/MacPython/wiki/wiki/Spinning-wheels).
What do you do when Apple doesn't update their python with some patch you want?
Although, I do not attempt to install any libraries, I keep everything in the application bundle and set environment variables as needed.
It is limiting in the sense that I must use the Python version that Apple does but at the same time, the shipping executable is downright tiny compared to most Mac OS X applications.
In my case some of the libraries are also compiled so I have a starter script that sets DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, PYTHONPATH, etc. and runs a 2nd script that can then successfully import whatever is required.
