I have a script which I want to deploy to some people in my group, but there are three dependencies ( python2.7, ExchangeCDO, pywin32). Is there a way that I can create one installation file that has these three installation dependencies bundled into exactly one file? e.g. an .exe or an .msi.

I've done something similar before by using NSIS. NSIS (Nullsoft Install System) is an open-source installation wizard tool. You can easily create a bundled installer which includes and runs all of your dependencies. For example, the installer for Firefox (and many other projects) uses NSIS.

Another good application for this is Inno Setup. I have used both and they each have their strengths and weaknesses. When I tried them last (3 years ago) Inno Setups Wizard mode was a bit better but NSIS was easier to do more advanced stuff in.
