The common mistake which leads to this problem is to
have your scripts in the python\py2exe directory.

Move your script and your setup.py file somewhere else,
and it will work.

py2exe is a package containing a module named py2exe,
and executing 'import py2exe' in the package directory
will pick up the module instead of the package.
I think i will have to rename the module to something else...
