Do you actually import py2exe in your setup.py script, like described in
http://py2exe.sourceforge.net/? Else the new command isn't registered.

Btw. what are you doing in the C:\Python22\Lib\SITE-P~1\py2exe
directory? Did you actually put your setup.py in this directory? Don't.
Any other directory outside c:\python22 will do fine.

It's also making ones life easier to put c:\python22 in the path. Dunno
why the Python installer doesn't do this itself. Also, at least on the
Windows' I use, you can start a Python script by just using its name,
without explicitely feeding it to python.exe, like this:

setup.py py2exe

This works because .py, .pyc, .pyo, .pyw are associated with python.exe.
