Cody, the issue is dependencies. You as a human look at the installation and can say, "Hey, that isn't used," but PyInstaller is not as smart and sees a big library like PIL or django and has to assume that anything in those libraries that is possibly connected must be included. To make up an example, if you pull sqrt out of math, but some other routine in math sucks in the whole time zone library and conversion tables so that it can add dates, then PyInstaller would include those, just in case...
If you can isolate some module that you know is not needed, you can use the '--exclude-module' command line parameter, or put an 'excludes =()' entry in the Analysis section of your .spec file (if you use one).
