Answer 1

I had a different problem with py2exe failing to find pywintypes27.dll - it was failing to find the file inside build_exe.isSystemDLL. The solution is to add the location of the DLLs in the path (at least the hack is to do so):

import site
for site_path in site.getsitepackages():
    pywin32_path = os.path.join(site_path, "pywin32_system32")
    if os.path.isdir(pywin32_path):
        os.environ["PATH"] = os.environ["PATH"] + ";" + pywin32_path
