dll_exludes is a py2exe option, should we in your options dict - see below.

Option "1" is more trouble then it is worse - would recommend 2 and use 
a installer such as InnoSetup to deliver a single file.  Some of this is 
shown/explained on the wxPython wiki.

No problem, it will show a console window and a second window is opened 
with the wxPython GUI.  This is sometimes handy to track down some 
tracebacks which don't show if you use "window".
