import OpenGL
print OpenGL.__file__

No, py2exe does not do that.  It starts from your main script, and 
analyzes Python bytecode and looks for import statements (via 
modulefinder), then it tries to find the modules in a similar way to 
how Python finds them, and it says they should be included.  If you 
don't want something included, don't import it!  You are somehow 
actually using this code from your other projects, because there is no 
other way it would find it!

py2app on Mac OS X works in a similar way (but has more features).  The 
process it uses is documented at 
http://undefined.org/python/py2app.html -- py2exe may have similar 
documentation, but I don't know where it is.
