If I've got to move files, I do that from a bat script which can call my Windows installer compiler too (inno, my case).
A good reason to keep this stuff in python (regardless of whether it is in setup.py or not) is portability. bat files only work on Windows. But then again, absolute paths (especially ones that use drive letters) are highly non-portable anyhow no matter what language they're in (even on different machines that are running Windows).
