It is possible to use py2exe to build COM servers,
although currently only exe-servers are possible.
The command-line handling has to be fixed to take care of
the special environment in which the built exe is run.
If you want to try it, the following sample may give you
a start.
Regards,
Thomas
# comserver.py
import sys
import pythoncom
# if running in the built executable, module sys
# has an 'importers' attribute.

pythoncom.frozen = 1
