Yes.  I use it to deply wxPython apps that use a lot of third
party packages like pyserial, numpy, scipy, scientific python,
pygnuplot, plotlib.

The resulting setup.exe files seem awfully large to somebody
who cut his teeth on Unix Version 7 on a PDP-11 with 256KB of
RAM and a 20MB hard drive (and who still writes programs for
platforms with 256 bytes of RAM).

But, by windows standards they're not all that large.  Nobody
cares anymore that a program won't fit on a floppy disk...
