Sorry, I have not used py2exe for some time, you would be better to ask 
this question on the py2exe list:

https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/py2exe-users

or read their documentation

http://www.py2exe.org/ or Wiki 
http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/Py2Exe


in particular...
