You're right, but that doesn't mean py2exe is not for you. Packing
a program, displaying a license, choosing installation directory
is not Python specific, just use a generic installer. They are better
because they have much more users than Python specific installers.
See for example http://nsis.sourceforge.net/features/featurelist/

Use py2exe to bundle python core, extentions and your program into
one directory, then use nsis to create the installator.
