Hmmm...I also use GUI2Exe, which may help you too. It'll list "missing
modules" and binary dependencies. It's basically a GUI interface to
py2exe:

This looks interesting, but I've never used it:

Finally, here's some more info on modulefinder:

http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Lib/modulefinder.py

Looks like you run modulefinder like this:

<code>

mod = modulefinder.ModuleFinder()
mod.run_script(path/to/python_script.py)
mod.report()

</code>
