That is standard practise for distributing binary Python modules.  Look
at wxPython, win32all etc

You could distribute your app as a whole without relying on an installed
Python or any other libraries.

If you want an example, have a look at dotamatic.sourceforge.net which
ships Windows, Linux and Mac "binaries".  In the source, makedist.py
is the script that produces the right thing on each platform and
the help lists the components used.
