For the record, here is what I'm using to wrap matplotlib in py2exe.
Since I'm using the wx backend I've excluded Tkinter.
Since numerix uses __import__, py2exe wasn't clever enough to find the
numerix extensions, and had to be listed explicitly. Similarly
for backends.
I'm not picking up the 14Mb of timezone info that I don't need. Maybe
want packages = ['pytz'] if your applications need it.
I haven't addressed mpl-data yet.
