+1 on the Inno Installer solution.  I use it a lot and it is both
easy to use and flexible for distributing Python apps on Windows.
While just compressing into self-extracting .exe works for simple
apps, there always seem to be "other" things you want to do.  Things
like modifying .ini files, setting up shortcuts and icons on user's
desktop, start list, quickstart list.  Registering dlls, starting
services, ...   Inno Installer can help you with all these things.
The combination of py2exe and Inno Installer is hard to beat.
