If this is a major consideration, look into PyInstaller as an 
alternative.  I found that an app of mine that ran about 13Mb under 
py2exe dropped to around 5 Mb under PyInstaller.  There's a learning 
curve, though -- PyInstaller uses a very different "language".  (I think 
  it may be the use of UPX that allows the greater compression; perhaps 
py2exe could be modified to use UPX.)
