Just one more question. Is it possible to package a game  written in python with the python language, pygame and an installer that will install the necessary packages on a users computer - the way you would install a commercial game written in C++? 

I can assure you that with some minor jiggling py2exe[1] works perfectly with PyGame, and I've used it with my last two Ludum Dare entries[2]. Then you can use any old installer builder like the Nullsoft one[3].
