Which version of py2exe are you running? The "pygame setup.py" script says 
py2exe-0.3.1 but the
latest version is 0.5 and 0.5 won't even run the "pygame setup.py" script.

Anyway, I took the minimalStandalone setup.py script and modified it as 
follows...

setup.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup( name = "Discretas",
       console = ["Discretas.py"],
       data_files = [ (".", ["Discretas.rsrc.py", "Graficos.rsrc.py"]) ]
       )
# should probably copy the Data dir as well...

Then I modified the Discretas.py file by adding an import os call and 
changing on_openBackground to build
an explicit path for Graficos.rsrc.py. I don't remember offhand why the 
module resource file can't be found in
library.zip with py2exe. I thought we had found a workaround for that, but 
it is late and I'll have to discuss
that with Thomas to be sure, so my bad on that issue. Anyway, providing an 
explicit path in the old-style
still works assuming the .rsrc.py files are copied to the dist directory.

Discretas.py: <snippet>

import os

class Principal(model.Background):

    def on_openBackground(self, event):
        path = os.path.join(self.stack.app.applicationDirectory, \
                    model.internationalResourceName('Graficos'))
        self.dibujo = model.childWindow(self, Graficos.Grafico, path)
        #self.dibujo = model.childWindow(self, Graficos.Grafico)
        self.dibujo.setPosition((200,50))


I ran the following line to build the exe...

python setup.py py2exe --excludes=Image

I manually copied the Data dir into the dist directory. The Discretas.exe 
file starts up fine without errors.
