That's about right assuming you thrown in a few of the larger
libraries like wxWidgets. A Win32 installer for a simple
Python app with bundled Python .dll starts at about 750K.
Python + py2exe + innoSetup rocks. People have no idea they're
running a Python app. The app installs and runs just like any
other.
