GUI app on Windows for WMI digging

Hi,

I am working on an application, which retrieves Windows system info
(Hardware / Software / Drivers / OS) and write to an xml.
For the GUI, I selected PyQT4, and for system info using WMI, I am using WMI
Package (http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi/index.html) and popular pywin32.
To package the binary, I am considering py2exe.

I need to package these in binary package (though single binary output was
preferred, but could not find any examples online to achieve this). Also, I
took PyQT4, but I can switch to PyGTK if it is possible to get it in single
DLL/libs.

Overall, I need suggestions on:

   - which XML library is better/lightweight on Windows?I think pure python
   based xml processing libs would work (so lxml is out of option).
   - Can I get these in single binary (not installer), or if not, then how
   can I get in minimum files. Py2exe results many files.
   - Is QT4 better or GTK? No war/flaming over this, since least widgets are
   needed, which are available on both. Since the GUI is just 3-4
   screens/dialogs with minimum widgets, so speed does not matter. The only
   thing that matter is least files/libs (no seperate installation, file can
   provided with binary package).
