It would be awesome to have a cross platform installer. There is a already windows installer at http://svn.turbogears.org/site_resources/windows_installer/ which does several of these things.
* It installs all packages offline * Includes the complete set of packages so that python setup.py develop isn't required on a quickstarted app * Sets up all packages in a virtualenv * Creates start menu items for activating the virtualenv There is another project called pylunch (http://bitbucket.org/faide/pylunch/) which uses py2exe to make your tg app along with all dependencies ready to be installed on any windows box. It even has scripts for setting up the app as a windows service. These projects could give you some ideas to start with.
