I'm not sure about an installer. To me that means integrating with system "installed apps" mechanisms. But I *would* support building an "unzip and run" style of distribution.
Don't zip files support self-extracting archives? Google says that the most common archivers (WinZip, 7-Zip, WinRar, etc) do, and I've seen people talking about making self-extracting archives on Ubuntu. The low-hanging fruit here is probably for Python's zip library to support self-extracting archives for the most common platforms. -- Steve
