Packaging as a zip file is a good way - but on Windows the file needs to be named xxx.py (which is surprising, to say the least :-)) for the relevant file association to be triggered (and on Unix, a #! line needs to be prepended). Windows users could define additional associations (pyz and pywz) for "zipped Python applications". Maybe the Python installer should include these in 3.4+, to improve the visibility of this approach.
