Here is how I am creating my win32 exe with py2exe:
1. create a setup.py file with the following:
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

#setup(console=['main_script.py'])
setup(windows=['main_script.py'] )

2. run the following command from console: 'python setup.py py2exe'

Hope this helps.
