Strange.. this is one reason I love Python :-)

py2exe (http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/py2exe/) and pyinstaller 
(http://pyinstaller.hpcf.upr.edu/pyinstaller/) compile python programs 
into .exe files that can be executed on any Win32 machine.

So you can develop the code using the python interpreter and deploy it 
using either of these. I have used py2exe and nsis installer to create 
setup versions of my applications and it deployment is really smooth, 
just like any compiled software.
