you can py2exe your pygtk application but including the all GTK+ runtime

The minimal distribution that we use is 9.5 MB on disk. With disk sizes
measured in the GB's these days, I don't think this is huge. What is
still worth worrying about is the size of the code pages when the
program is running.
This of course implies that this GTK+ distribution is stable enough so
that developers don't feel the need of embedding their own "patched"
gtk+ runtime in their application installer.
This is part of the issue -- gtk on Windows is not as mature as on
Linux. Because of this, there is likely to more need to distribute
different versions.
