Usually the preferred method is either distutils (http:// docs.python.org/library/distutils.html#module-distutils) or setuptools (http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools). Either of these will allow you to create source (".tar.gz") or binary distributions that can be installed relatively easily on a target machine.
