Answer 1

What I did is I updated the 'setup.py' file to contain the paths to the missing modules, using

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, <path_to_missing_modules>)

This way I do no need to polute the ...\site_packages\ folder.

Answer 2

you need to place '__init__.py' to every module your using in your project. since init.py tell to your py2exe convertor that there is a python module here.

Since i have faced the same issue Few days back. with zope.interface and mp_tools i placed empty __init__.py worked fine for me

Here is what finally worked for me. Manually copying the folder containing the files which your .py(to be converted to .exe) file imports, before running py2exe, to Python27\Lib\site-packages\ fixes such problems I guess.
