py2exe removes the need to install python on a computer.  It packages
up your program in a way so that it can be installed as basically a
stand-alone application.  It will include the pythonxx.dll that is
needed, but not all the other support functions.  Add Inno Setup
to bundle the py2exe files that are needed and you get a single
setup.exe file that can be run to install your application on the
computer WITHOUT installing python at all.
