I'm not especially qualified to answer this, but I think the answer's Yes. I think that you can just tell py2exe that the executables and DLLs of the other products are data files for the Python one. Best look at the py2exe site and mailing list for further info. An alternative is just to use an installer to package the whole thing in the usual Windows way. > Yes, this approach can't handle the pictures in > the PDF/WORD file.

BTW, don't forget that if you're comparing Word with Word, you can use its inbuilt comparison ability, which just needs COM automation. (Don't know how that takes care of picture either, but if Word's own Compare can't, no-one else has got a chance).
