You didn't ask about an installer, but I thought I'd make the suggestion
anyway.  The combination of py2exe and Inno Installer works EXTREMELY
well for distributing software on Windows platform.  Use py2exe to
create .exe and support files, use Inno to wrap it up into a neat single
setup.exe file for distribution.
