You can create an installer using NSIS and choose LZMA compression. That's the slickest way I know to distribute your application. If that's too much trouble, you can also distribute your application as a self-extracting 7ZIP-Archive using LZMA compression (http://www.7-zip.org/). Quick size test here with a small wxPython helper app of mine: py2exe dist directory size: 12.469.572 Bytes 7ZIP self-extracting archive (LZMA, default settings): 2,80 MB (2.942.543 Bytes) A NSIS installer will not add much overhead (a few hundred KB).
