Are they any tool that can help build nice looking , easy to use installer, that will be strictly GUI based, no command line magic, for my end user for a programm I am building.
If it is possible I would like to bundle inside my installation python and pygame, so its an one step install, to install my application.
Any recommendations ?

once you converted your python code into applications for windows, you can use NSIS for creating an installer
For linux you need to compile to deb or rpm.
Thanks for both suggestions, I was aware of py2exe and py2app, but did not knwo that they were so powerful. I am looking to the NSIS installer as well. Thank you.
