py2exe does not support compressed egg's which is what you probably 
installed.

I do the following for sqlalchemy:

use the easy_install option: -Z = always unzip

And then I needed to defined sqlalchemy and setuptools in the packages.

packages = ['email', 'Ft', 'kinterbasdb', 'matplotlib.numerix', 
'matplotlib.afm', pytz', 'setuptools', 'sqlalchemy']

I also needed to add this to my setup.py:
# egg support
import pkg_resources
pkg_resources.require("setuptools") # get latest version
pkg_resources.require("sqlalchemy") # get latest version
pkg_resources.require("pytz") # get latest version

And this to my model.py (sa related):
if not hasattr(sys, 'frozen'):
     import pkg_resources
     pkg_resources.require("sqlalchemy") # get latest version

It might be that the above two steps are only needed as I install "multi 
version" when using easy_install.
