Have you reported your problem on the py2exe mailing list ? Lots of
people use py2exe with wxPython - so it should be possible to resolve.

(To post to the py2exe mailing list, please incldue the full error
message and a copy of the 'setup.py' you are using. This will help
people diagnose the problem.)

I have two other recommendations.

1) Look at SPE the editor - htttp://pythonide.stani.be
    It is open source and includes a GUI builder as well. It's a very
nice editor.
2) For *deploying* applications you could consider Movable Python.
You'll need to buy a license per *target* machine, but it's a full
distribution of Python - so doesn't need the 'build' phase of deploying
with py2exe.

All the best,
