The standard way to package portable Python apps is a tarball with a setup.py script. That should work on all systems where Python is already installed, including Windows. Read <http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html>, if you have not already done so. If you want more 'native' packages (as you already have for Windows, where users are used to have a graphical installer), you'll have to create .deb, .rpm, .whatever packages. You usually won't have to bother about the Python interpreter, because it is either already present (it's a standard package on most systems) or it will be pulled in via a package dependency. distutils already allows you to create rpm packages.
