py2exe is useful to build distribution files since looks for all the
dependencies and automates the process but make an executable from a
python file is so easy like:

"main.c"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <python2.5/Python.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  Py_SetProgramName(argv[0]);
  Py_Initialize();
  PySys_SetArgv(argc, argv);

  FILE *f;
  f = fopen("YourPythonScript.py", "r");
  PyRun_SimpleFile(f, "YourPythonScript.py");

  Py_Finalize();
  return 0;
}

And then:
gcc main.c -o YourBinaryFile -lpython2.5

or with scons:
"SConstruct"
import os
env = Environment(ENV=os.environ)
env.Append( LIBS=['python2.5'] )
Program('main.c', LIBS=['python2.5'] )
