Holger, 

I'm not sure if this relates or not, but I ran into it again today,
and it might serve as inspiration if nothing else:

http://effbot.org/zone/exemaker.htm

"ExeMaker is a small tool that takes a Python script, copies it to a
program directory, and creates a Windows EXE file in the same
directory. When you run that EXE, it automatically runs the script.
...
In other words, ExeMaker lets you install command-line programs
written in Python along with other utilities, and use them without
having to bother with PY associations, BAT files, or other
workarounds."

Take care,
-Brian
