I am making a snake game these days as an assignment…and hope it will be done in 2-3 days…
I wanted to know if there is someway to make a installation type package….like some setup.exe so that I need to only install the game on windows and then play it….

Normally you do not need a “setup.exe”-type installer for PyGame games.
I use cx_freeze (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cx-freeze/) in Cygwin (http://cygwin.org/) to create binaries for my MS Windows Pygame projects. It is a litte tricky to figure out, but it produces excellent executables.
In most cases it is enough to put the directory produced by cx_freeze into a ZIP file and distribute that.
If you really need an installer, you have to create it after you have created the binary.
Try one of these:
