This is part of what I've done with Movable Python.

http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/movpy/

It includes a script called 'PyDistFreeze.py' which includes the whole
of the standard library. (Plus any additional packages/modules you specify).

It then builds an executable from another script called 'movpy.py'
(which becomes 'movpy.exe'). This script then runs any normal python
program in an environment that 'seems normal' to it.

You may well be able to adapt a Movable Python distribution to your
purposes - or adapt 'PyDistFreeze.py' to create a suitable distribution.

All the best,
