There are already  answers regarding other more topical issues with
the initial problem; but just in case the main problem would be the
use of __file__ ...
It seems, that the exe files generated from py2exe don't recognise
this variable;
sometimes I used code like

try:
    __file__
except NameError: # py2exe
    __file__ = sys.path[0]

cf. e.g. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-May/085384.html


I'm not sure, whether there are any drawbacks, but it works in the
respective context (accessing text and image files in parallel
directories).
