What kind of extra files?
One of Py2exe's main jobs is to strip out all the unnecessary
files and only bundle up those that are needed.

Have you tried installing the exe without the extra files? Does it 
still
work on a PC without Python already installed?

Py2exe usually does a pretty good job and has been around for
such a long time I'm surprised its producing any extras.

Curious,
