This project and the projects I see linked in the comments thus far (MacPin, WebShell) are AWESOME. I really wish Python had a better story here, but I digress.

Also, these types of projects are puzzling at the same time. I have been under the impression (right or wrong), that people didn't like/want/need desktop apps. With these types of projects I wonder if people don't know that they want desktop apps...

I know it's a digression, but I'm curious. What do you not like about packaging of Python apps on desktop platforms?

That they are not portable to the web and vice-versa in Python, first. Second, I can not do justice... so I will give you a great blog post that sums my thoughts nicely: https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2015/09/software-you-can-use...
