Thank you Thomas,
i found http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.distutils.devel/3340
and tried to import setuptools first - indeed, in this case the problem 
seems to be solved, however, would like to know, how to persist it.
If i put it into py2exe.__init__.py - is it a very bad idea?

Best regards
