you could probably use one of the installers to resolve the dependencies. 
py2exe searches for imports and finds the needed modules and dlls/pyds 
(don't know Installer, i think it can do that too)

you can create a dummy setup.py build the app and look whats left in the 
generated "dist" directory and thow away the dummy application you just 
built. but you get all the needed files nicely aranged in one dir.

(maybe there would be w ways to only use the scanning function of py2exe. 
you can dig in the sources - its surely possible, but i think the approch 
aboveis faster for a one time use.)
