You can send them your entire source directory and it should work as long as they use a compatible Python version. Unless you have you need to ship/install libraries or complicated project, I see no reason to create an installer. That way you can send your pickled files without any issues. I know some projects (e.g. Sickbeard) do this; you just download from svn/github and run.
