As discussed on python-dev, a script for the free Inno Setup tool

which will create a windows installer containing only the Python
debugging binaries.

They will be installed alongside an existing Python installation, the
location is read from the registry.

This allows easy building and debugging of own compiled extensions.

+; This script for Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php)

+;
+; It installs a debug python exe, a debug python dll, debug versions
+; of the Python extensions, and debug libraries.
+;
+; An existing standard Python installation is required, the debug
+; files are copied alongside the standard python files, the
+; installation directory is read from the registry.
