It will if you run the cxfreeze script -- in other words not by using
setup.py and distutils. In setup.py you would be far better off to
just do this
import sys
sys.path.append(....)

Nope. See above. :-)

I'm not sure what your architecture is like but perhaps you would be
better of by simply adjusting sys.path directly in setup.py?

So can you simply do this?
import sys
sys.path.append("share/exposong/lib")

The path parameter in Executable will work but it is expecting a
__full__ path. So you need to do something like this
path = sys.path + ["share/exposong/lib"]

If you want these to be loaded dynamically from the file system you
might want to use include_files to simply copy the files to the target
directory and adjust sys.path in your script to include whatever place
you copied these.
Recognize one other thing: Executable() is meant for overriding stuff
that you want different in each executable. If you only have one
executable or they all use the same configuration you're better off
simply using the main setup() call.
Hope that helps!
