I guess the problem is here:

py2exe seems to pick up cygwin binaries.  The reason could be that
either you have cygwin extensions somewhere in your pythonpath, or parts
of the PATH env variable points into the cygwin directories, or
something like that.  You should look at the output above carefully, and
make sure that it is what one would expect.
