Are you trying to create an MSI installer of a Python program or something else? The docs for msilib indicate that it supports creation of MSI files for Python programs with the bdist_msi command in distutils. bdist_msi seems to be included with Python 2.5, it is in lib/distutils/command/bdist_msi, but it doesn't seem to be documented in the distutils docs. Here is a little bit about it: http://www.dcl.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/home/loewis/bdist_msi/ General information about using distutils is here: http://docs.python.org/dist/dist.html I have never used distutils myself (other than to install stuff) so I probably can't give you much more help than this.
