Not clear what you are really asking for, but maybe this will help.  I
have a application that is 95% normal code, packaged up via py2exe.
Other 5% is a few .py files in a separate directory, modified regularly
by the users (report specifications in some lists/dicts).  These files
are *excluded* from the py2exe build, and I manually add this directory
to sys.path during the application startup.  A change to one of the
spec files is picked up like any normal python session, and I don't
need to rebuild the entire app.  Could you do the same type of thing?

Brian.
