Sounds like a py2exe problem, not a Python problem. Perhaps you should 
ask them?

Define "doesn't run".

You mean the exe file doesn't launch at all? Does Windows display an

Or perhaps it launches, then immediately exists? Launches, then crashes? 
Does it show up in the process list at all? Or something else?
