You can try asking this in the reportlab list

reportlab-users at lists2.reportlab.com

but perhaps this is more about py2exe than reportlab. The modules 
_fontdata_enc_* & _fontdata_widths_* are imported dynamically in _fontdata.py 
rather than explicitly. I suspect that py2exe needs to be given a hint that this 
is going on. However, I'm uncertain as to why this should be required since even 
if the imports are being dynamically imported that is done as soon as _fontdata 
is imported (ie it's part of the module code) so those modules should be seen by 
the setup.py.

If you don't have reportlab explicitly imported as part of the packages try 
adding this to the packages list

			packages=[

........................................


					'reportlab',
					'reportlab.graphics.charts',
					'reportlab.graphics.samples',
					'reportlab.graphics.widgets',
					'reportlab.graphics.barcode',
					'reportlab.graphics',
					'reportlab.lib',
					'reportlab.pdfbase',
					'reportlab.pdfgen',
					'reportlab.platypus',
					],


that's what we use to make the distributions and seems to work.
