There are a couple of options. There is a py2exe option to include
everything makepy has ever generated on the build machine, see:

The approach I've used is as follows:

- Find the file generated by makepy (it's in win32com\gen_py)
- Copy that to your application directory and give it a readable name
(e.g., Excel.py)
- Change these two lines:

from win32com.client import Dispatch
xlApp = Dispatch("Excel.Application")

to:

import Excel
xlApp = Excel.Application()
