Installer can do a single exe or a single directory. Unless your
users are only going to run it once or twice, I'd use single
directory (with wxPython it will just take too long to load as
a single file). 

Inno is a free GUI installer you can use:

(I recently ran across another free one that claims to be 
lighter weight, but I guess I didn't bookmark it :-().
