You would need to have an installer that installs only the libraries, not
the development tools. Christoph Gohlke's Python package installers may
come in handy here, though I haven't tried the PyQt one.

Yes, I know that's non-trivial. The discovery parts of cx_Freeze could be
reused for this. I'm more inclined to look for installers, though, because
if you have to bundle DLLs, you lose the ability to generate the installer
on Linux.

This was loosely inspired by installers I remember for .NET apps, which can
download and install the .NET framework if you don't already have it. It's
a bit more obvious that Python has been installed, because it adds itself
to the start menu. Perhaps there's a way to stop it doing that. Then again,
the start menu is less important in newer versions of Windows, so perhaps
it's not a big issue.
