Here's a simple failure.  Consider importtest.py consisting solely of:

import xml.xpath

with this setup.py:

# setup.py
# python setup.py py2exe (or python setup24.py py2exe)
# you may need to 'rm -rf dist build' first.
from distutils.core import setup
import glob
import py2exe
import sys

# The Target class is demonstrated in py2exe/samples/advanced/setup.py
class Target:
    def __init__(self, name, **kw):
        self.__dict__.update(kw)
        self.__dict__["script"] =3D "importtest.py"
        # for the versioninfo resources
        self.company_name =3D "Pharsight Corporation"
        self.copyright =3D "2002, 2003, 2004, 2005"
        self.name =3D name

# The console version shows stdout messages in a DOS box.
setup(name=3D"importtest",
      windows=3D[Target("Import Test",
                      description=3D"Import Test") ],
      console=3D[Target("Import Test (console)",
                      dest_base=3D"console",
                      description=3D"Console version of Import Test")],
      version =3D "1.4.0.000",
      options=3D{"py2exe":{"packages":[]}} \
)

Python can resolve "import xml.xpath" interactively, but py2exe fails to =
resolve.
