Hi Tony:

Take a look at the standaloneBuilder tool which comes with the 
PythonCard distribution. My brief notes on the process of converting 
PythonCard apps to executables can be found here:

http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/standalone.html

Although this is based around using pyInstaller, the standaloneBuilder 
app supports py2exe as well.

I've attached copies of the setup.py and associated data files that 
standaloneBuilder generates for a py2exe build, hope this helps.

Essentially, the resource files stay as they are, i.e. they don't get 
packed into the EXE in any way. I've often thought it would be useful to 
write some sort of helper class which would allow resource files to be 
bundled up into a module that the app could import, along similar lines 
to the img2py stuff which comes with the wxPython demo.
