Have you considered creating a deb or rpm package for your application?
Most of the documentation for deb or rpm will talk about make files.
But even a distutil based python package (with a setup.py) can be made
into a deb package.
Then the your requirement will be satisfied at least for most gnu/linux
based distros.
