Not 100% sure if this is for real, but almost seemed like when I
tried out making use of py2exe to build an executable from a python

like the following, that would work fine in the normal interpreter

Usual recommendation: provide the exact traceback (cut-and-pasted

My guess is that you used backtick quotes (`) rather than
single quotes. Backticks are a little-used alternative to
the repr () function -- deprecated in Python 3 ISTR. That
would leave the interpreter calling the __repr__ method
of the exit object. The interactive interpreter has an exit
object:
<dump>
ActivePython 2.7.1.4 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Feb 7 2011, 11:30:38) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Use exit() or Ctrl-Z plus Return to exit

... which probably comes from site.py (I can't be bothered to check
right now) which isn't imported if Python isn't running interactively.
Such as, within a py2exe bundle.
Also, going to look through any sort of documentation can find, but,
off-hand, does py2exe need you to in fact include all code etc. in
one file?
Nope. I have multifile py2exe bundles, eg:
<code>
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup (
console=[
dict (script="web_portraits_lrwp.py"),
dict (script="web_contacts_lrwp.py"),
dict (script="web_uaccess_lrwp.py"),
],
data_files=[
(".", ["header.html"]),
],
options={
"py2exe" : {
"includes" : ["decimal"],
"packages" : ["email"],
}
}
)
</code>
Each of those scripts pulls in quite a few other modules,
all of which py2exe picks up and bundles into its library.zip.
