Did you already checked http://stackoverflow.com/questions/323424/py2exe-fails-to-generate-an-executable
and the links there?.

I am a heavy user of py2exe in winxp with python2.5. It works great
producing single executables  with matplotlib, wxpython, and others.

Please report if you get your problem fixed. Sure will be helpful for
everybody

Luck
