File Install Program Using Python?

[CB Hamlyn]

Hello, I'm currently working on a Modification for the PC game Battlefield
1942.  I'm a pretty good VBA Programmer with some Foxpro under belt as well.
After reading a ton of stuff on-line I'm simply floored by everything Python
has to offer.

Anyway, I want to create an installation program that takes a folder and all
it's sub-folders and copies them from a compressed form into the proper
directory.  Basically a simplified version InstallSheild or whatever.

I assume Python is capable of such a feat and I'm wondering if anyone can
spin me around, point me in the right direction and shove me toward my goal.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
