Well, if you want a standalone executable then you will have to work out 
which standard library modules you use and compile them *all* into your 
application.

A better alternative would be to keep the standard library (in a 
directory) as part of your project. At runtime you can add this folder 
to sys.path - and distribute it as part of your application.

There are libraries (that run under CPython) for tracking dependencies - 
both as part of the standard library and py2exe - that you could use to 
automate this if you wanted to take the first option.
