My understanding of this is still shakey. I'm not using EnsureDispatch, just
win32com.client.Dispatch. Does it matter? the Py2exe docs discussed only
EnsureDispatch.
thanks!

The best solution is probably to arrange for the pre-generated modules to be
included in the py2exe distribution - there are some docs on this in the py2exe
directory.
Alternatively, check out win32com\__init__.py and look for how __gen_path__ is
setup.
