Don't assume that an installer would be expensive.  Try contacting
Aladdin and explain that you want to create an installer for a
freeware product.  They may be willing to grant the Python community a
limited license for Stuffit InstallerMaker at little or no cost.

Perhaps the PSA would be able to chip in some money if we can't get it
for free.

Stuffit Installermaker is pretty good.  The basics are really easy and
more advanced things can be accomplished with a little scripting or
programming.  Best of all, there's a free trial version:

True, but the improved simplicity is a good thing too.
