Rather than fight this, I recommend you try cx_freeze.

Over all, it is much easier to use and does not require code
modification of any kind.

http://www.python.net/crew/atuining/cx_Freeze/

cx_freeze does make a much smaller dist directory, but the resulting exe has an error
  
  
    File "C:\Python24\lib\site-packages\PIL\Image.py", line 1745, in open
      raise IOError("cannot identify image file")
  IOError: cannot identify image file
  
  I looked in the archives of the cx_freeze mailing list and there is  some discussion about this, but they don't seem to have a solution.

  Replying to my own post here...I have found a solution in  the mailing list after looking a bit more. My thanks for pointing me to  cx_freeze. It's much easier to use and makes nice small files :-)
