The problem you referred to for py2exe despaired with Python 2.6. For
Python 2.5, there was no public download option for msvcr71.dll and
msvcp71.dll. There was also the unsolved SxS issue. Thus a license for
Visual Studio 2003 was required to distribute py2exe apps for Python
2.5. That is now history. For py2exe apps using Python 2.6, 2.7 or
3.1, you can just ask your clients to install this:

There are similar downloads for Visual C++ 2010 run-time files as
well. Python 3.2 will probably be built with Visual Studio 2010.
