In what way is it not the same thing?  (Hint: I'm not about to
follow those links and learn about the products just to answer
the question... maybe you could explain it, since you seem to
be the one who knows about all three products.)

Also could you explain in what way you feel py2exe is not as
"comprehensive"?  It does what it does, does it well, and
doesn't really seem to be missing much in that area.  Maybe
you are looking for an "installer" as well, such as InnoSetup?
