If you want Python, you probably have to have something that can make sure that your Python script are guarantied to run by itself and also the related helper programs and libraries in the Windows machine. You can also write a shell script for Windows (develop it in freedos or something if you can't use a Windows machine). I was active in the Subversion project until ca. 2006 and for the Windows installer I used Inno Setup (still going strong). Inno Setup have the ability to check if packages exists and download and install missing programs if needed, and it's easy to use. You can make Inno download Windows versioins of Python, sox and anything anyway and place it in the same folder as your Python Script and run it from there. Personally, I would use Perl for this because it's easy to include a perl.exe (at least easy 10 years ago) i a Windows distro and run scripts, but it might be easy on Python too.
