FYI, the work I'm currently doing on Python Eggs would probably help with this:

My thought is that if we ever settle on a decent "deployment descriptor" 
format, you could bundle it inside a .egg and have a single-file deployment 
option.  Eggs will also soon be able to specify library eggs that they 
depend on, and have the runtime library take care of the rest.
