And as it turns out, docutils suffers from the same problem as sphinx - data files located by using a module's __file__ attribute.
Anyway, I was finally able to get my app to freeze properly using two hook modules and patching PYZOwner.getmod() in archive.py to set the __file__ attribute of each module to a directory relative to sys.executable. The patch is only 3 lines. If for example the module name is "sphinx.pycode", it will set __file__ to "sys.executable/ sphinx/pycode/". The hook-* files use datas = [] to copy the files to the proper locations. The hook-sphinx.py and hook-docutils.py both determine the hiddenimports and datas by examining the directory trees where they are installed. Files that aren't python code are considered to be data files, and inserted into datas to get copied relative to the executable. This process seems like it would work for any package that does this type of thing, but I'm sure you all would be able to come up with a better solution.
