I couldn't help noticing the description explanation of how to compile/distribute a Python program as a Windows executable:

That's neat: I didn't know such a thing existed. But the user still has to install the SDL separately, doesn't he? And what about PyGame: does he have to install that too?

If anyone has experience with this, please enlighten me. Thanks!

No, it wraps up everything -- python, pygame, SDL, and everything else in your script.
I've build totally stand-alone EXEs that would run on virgin machines.
You don't have to install anyting else. It all runs right from the EXE.

Well, a directory with an exe, some dlls, and some pyds... but (hopefully) no external dependencies other than Windows itself.
