If your application is pure python why would you use CMake instead
of pure python tools? Like Python distutils?

Or may be python packages extending it:

AFAIK CMake and CPack do not deal with that kind of work.
Doesn't look you for something like: http://cx-freeze.sourceforge.net/

If ever you made it to the end then I would have been a success already right?
Just kidding but AFAI Understand your goal does not fits CMake/CPack features.
