Maybe consider PyInstaller as well. I've used Pyinstaller a lot to package up GUI apps using Python 2.7 with PyQt4, numpy, scipy, and matplotlib.
I've never used Pyinstaller with Python 3, but they do have a experimental branch for this here.
However, if you've had a lot of success with cx_freeze there may not be any big benefits of Pyinstaller over that, just throwing out some ideas.

I've now tried bdist_dmg with cx_Freeze.
At first it doesn't start at all:

The .app generated by freeze.py now works fine - things left to do:
- Look at warnings
- Set an icon
- Change the application name to not include the version.

@flv0 and I did some quick tests today, and it seems we run into cx_Freeze issue 156. When running the version from the repo, we get 159/171 instead.
I guess it's really time to look at a replacement (#1004)

FYI, I'm playing with PyInstaller and (on OS X at least) it seems to go pretty well.
It can't do DMGs though, but this might help:

Okay, I think I finally got a running DMG with Qt 5.6 - can you please try qutebrowser-20160528.dmg?

Glad to hear! Closing this issue then, I plan to release a new dmg with the 0.7 release which should hopefully happen soon.

How do you build qutebrowser as an dmg/app ? I've been using the scripts/dev/build_release.py script, but to produce anything out of it has until now required me multiple runs and/or manual editing. Furthermore, the current HEAD produces this error for me:

Looks like this is the commit that introduced that error message: pyinstaller/pyinstaller@771986d
The-Compiler is the one who maintains the build script and I don't think he has a working up to date mac build machine at the moment. So if you think you can get it working a pull request would be welcome. Although I wonder if this change affects the windows build step too...
Either way it would be worth opening a new issue since we are apparently using pyinstaller wrong.

Gnah, I was sure I had fixed that one already, but apparently that got lost somehow? Pushing a fix now.
