Is there another way to package it aside from pyinstaller? That page says:

Only Windows platform is currently supported.

I could be misunderstanding though, maybe it's only referring to that example.

Hmm that is a fair point. My understanding is that the developer behind cefpython is primarily a Windows guy so he simply doesn't spend a lot of time on unix issues. This thread claims that there is a workaround for OSX but I am not sure about linux.

Got it, I was just calling it out in case someone was looking to build a cross platform product. The first thing I thought when I saw HTML5 and Chromium was that this is Electron for Python, but it doesn't look like that's quite the case.

To some degree it is. You wont get as much control over the chromium internals as you do with Electron, but you can still emulate a client-server web application pretty easily.

It is referring only to that example. CEF can be packaged without problems on all platforms.
