You certainly can put it in your script just as you have. In a normal =
exe, there are a couple of differences I had in mind with the =
--custom-boot-script option. First you don't have to "pollute" your =
script with stuff that is only used in an executable - it just helps =
keep code separated if that is important to your project. Secondly you =
don't have to do any "if sys.frozen" kinds of things. The custom boot =
script will only be executed when run from a packaged executable.

In non console/windows builds (e.g., COM servers) it has the added =
advantage of letting you insert something before executing py2exe's =
built in scripts (but still after boot_common.py) that serve as the =
entry point for those (e.g., before boot_com_servers.py, =
boot_service.py, etc.).
