I don't have such a file on my system, but this is used with a "gdk" 
backend?!

What backend are you using?  Were do you set it?

I do this at the top of my script which uses matplotlib.

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use('WXAgg')

Maybe it comes also from this line in your setup.py:

      options={'py2exe': {'packages': ['matplotlib','pytz']}}

You force the inclusion of all of matplotlib, following should be enough.

      options={'py2exe': {'packages': ['matplotlib.numerix','pytz']}}
