Not wanting to jump on someone else's thread (but blatantly doing so), I've been working on the exact same thing!
It's been in use at my school for the last couple of years, and a few other local teachers are using it..
I've put a lot of effort into documenting it: http://appJar.info
And had a fair amount of success in the classroom - it's even been used in GCSE controlled assessments.
When I started it, I knew nothing about Python or tkinter, so it's grown into a bit of a beast! Especially as I kept adding new features for the kids. But it does the job, and I've had lots of positive feedback.
Again, it's still in beta, so there are a couple of bugs, and the 'learn' section isn't finished. But I'd welcome some feedback or the chance to collaborate...

Laura,
In the spirit of teaching people to fish, you should be looking at this:
https://packaging.python.org/distributing/
and this:
https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject
and particularly this:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pypa/sampleproject/master/setup.py
But if you'd rather not, then let me know and I'll send through a PR
