Yes, 'distutils' is one of the standard library modules as of Python 1.6,
so you should already have the tools you need to automate installations
with it.  It should be cross-platform as well.  I believe one can even
make Windows installers and Red Hat RPMs with 'distutils'.

There's some good documentation on using it here:

Good luck!
