You probably mean that Psyco can dynamically compile Python bytecodes even if they have been hidden into an .exe file by py2exe. At first reading, it appears that you are propagating the misconception "compiler == speed == .exe" i.e. Psyco could "compile your program into an .exe file". As far as I see, this is definitely not possible. Of course, for PR purposes the difference is small -- an .exe file that runs at compiled speed, or at least machine-level VM speed -- but advertising should work around and not build on top of existing confusion IMHO.
