It's kind of embarrassing, but I've been using Py2EXE the dumb way. I
put a very basic "setup.py" file and some copy of my actual code into
the C:\Python24 directory, even though the code normally lives in
C:\Code and there's a whole directory structure that needs copying. Then
I run Py2EXE, then manually copy my graphics, music (etc.)
subdirectories into the new C:\Python24\dist location. This gives me a
directory I can then ZIP up and distribute to Windows users without Python.

As I understand it, this is a bad method!

It works, so it's not that bad ;-)
In fact the pygame2exe script for the old py2exe does exactly the same thing!
And if you give the data_files option, it's also the same thing only
now I can (I hope) reuse much of the script between py2exe and py2app.
But do you get a library.zip file?  If not, which version of py2exe
are you using and what's in your setup.py file?
