True.

For other people having similar problems:

Gustaf (the original poster) can now freeze his app
with the command line:

python setup.py py2exe -p xml -i encodings.latin_1 -e win32api

He removed PyXML before because he didn't need it.
There's way too much (import) magic going on in PyXML,
such a simple approach does not work.

Still the whole xml package must be included (-p xml)
because otherwise no parsers are found.
'-i encodings.latin_1' includes the latin_1 encoding,
which is the only one he is using.
