Packaging a Python application including dependencies for all platforms is another hard problem. For now, briefcase works best for me, but nuitka is a strong competitor.

Another option for packaging Python apps is the BeeWare project Briefcase (https://github.com/beeware/briefcase). The only limitation that exists in your specific case is Tkinter - Briefcase doesn't support packaging Tkinter apps, but it does support Qt and Toga (BeeWare's GUI toolkit) Toga; Toga is design to be as approachable as Tkinter.

I've found a lot of approaches and options, though Briefcase by BeeWare has been about the right level of sophistication for me.
