At Allmydata we used py2exe to build a (suite of) .exe file(s)
including all the bundling of python libraries etc. It's not perfect
(it doesn't integrate terribly well with .egg files for instance) but
it works pretty well.
We also used InnoSetup to build setup.exe installers for all the pieces.
So, that is to say, what you're asking about is a 'solved problem', or
at least once was ;-) I'm not sure how much of that build stuff made
it from .com into the open source tahoe repo (I'd look into it, but am
busy on something else at the mo) but the above tools are to some
extent "known to work".
If you have questions, problems, feel free to ask me :-)
cheers,
rob
