What would it entail to do this? Using py2exe + some installer (like Inno Setup) to create an installer that basically copies/installs the files into the site-packages folder or wherever the user chooses? If that's all it is, I would think it would be fairly easy to create these. Maybe I'm over-simplifying it though. What are a some examples of packages that need this?
