I had an app that I needed to include other modules.  I think you need  
to add some lines to your options area of your setup.py.
You have the argv_emulation but not site_packages which allows your  
Pythonpath to be explored or the specific packages that you wish to  
include specifically.

My Setup.py file is included below for reference.   I made mine a kind  
of default that I include in my packages that I only really need to  
modify a couple of variable for my builds.
Hope this helps some.
