Yes, this one was annoying.  I make sure I do this somewhere in my
code have the needed dependencies show up to py2exe:

...........
# don't use this file in actual code, its sole purpose is to import
# everything necessary to grab from PyXML so that Gordon's Installer
# will package up a python program that uses PyXML properly.

# include PyXML
import xml
from xml import dom, marshal, parsers, sax, utils #,unicode
import xml.dom.minidom
import xml.parsers.xmlproc
import xml.parsers.xmlproc.xmlproc
import xml.parsers.pyexpat
from xml.sax import drivers, drivers2
from xml.sax.drivers import drv_pyexpat, drv_xmlproc
from xml.sax.drivers2 import drv_pyexpat, drv_xmlproc

import xml.unicode
from xml.unicode import iso8859, utf8_iso
...........

I believe it was the latter two lines that had to be added to work around
the missing codec problem.

I also renamed the PyXML installation's '_xmlplus' directory to 'xml'
(replacing the tiny 'xml' directory that comes with python) so that the
PyXML modules are packaged correctly for me.
