I figured out that's what is happening. py2exe used to package my 
"services" package because it was imported normally. But now I do a 
folder lookup to find all subfolders in my sys.executable + '/services' 
folder and
exec("import %s" % foldername )
each subfolder. That's why py2exe can't package those packages when its 
building.

And I'm doing it that way because the set of plugins are not known 
ofcourse, that's why I do this dynamic discovery at runtime.


This will work, but it feels a bit patchy to me, is there a way in 
python to say "here is the path to folder x, recursevily import all 
packages you find in there"? py, pyc, pyd also?
