That is correct.  People want less files to distribute not more.  People 
complain on py2exe list that it doesn't create a single .EXE file.  Don't
try to update the program via patching "pieces".  Wrap everything in a proper 
installer (I use and highly recommend Inno Setup).  It can handle version 
control, there is a plug-in for over-the-wire updates, etc.  Best way I know of 
to automate everything.
