I wrote up http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/SmallApp a few months
back, and it covers not only writing a small app, but doing things not
normally shown in tutorials, but what I would consider 'standard' in
writing an application, like accelerator keys on menus, creating an icon
for the app, etc.  At the end of the page, I talk about how to build a
windows EXE, and finally wrapping it in an Install program.  You might
want to check that page out for some tips.  Good luck,
