If you don't want to disclose source code, you don't want to use an open
source license.  You do still need to take care to comply with the licenses
of any code you use however, so be sure you don't use any GPL'ed code or
libraries in your app.

You may want to use some proprietary license, but as I have no interest in
proprietary software, I have no advice for you there.  I suggest you talk to
a lawyer, getting legal advice from a mailing list of volunteers is not a
great idea.

Also, note that your source code will still be visible even if packaged with
py2exe, unless you use some form of obfuscation.
