You may not technically need to package things up, but if you use
Gordon McMillan's installer (or py2exe as well as I believe), they
will lock down your sys.path to the local installation.  So you could
build an image for your application using one of those tools, and
execute that from the CD.

Of course, this may not be perfect if you want the CD to work on both
Windows and Unix, but it would avoid needing to rebuild a different
python front-end for Windows.
