Yes, you need the whole folder.  Maybe in the future py2exe will allow
to create real single file executables for simple cases (not too many
python extension modules), but it will probably never happen for
wxPython apps, where the wxPython dll (dlls?) are needed as well.

OTOH, there's a recipe in the py2exe wiki which creates a single
exe-file which at runtime unpacks all the stuff, and cleans up
afterwards.  Personally, I never found that very nice.

Here's the link
