You should be a bit more specific here - what do you mean by "it can't
find the services folder" ?

I can only think of two problems - first you should locate the folder in
the file system (probably relative to the exe-file, which is
sys.executable), and then you should add it to sys.path.
Second, you must make sure that py2exe doesn't include this folder.
