Ah, success.
I discovered what was wrong with your py2exe'ing endeavors.
Lucky for you, eh! ;)

The problem is that PIL, and PMW, and some other modules,
dynamically import what plugins they need at runtime.
so until the program is run, nobody knows that PIL is going to need the 
PNG plugin,
or the BMP, or JPG, or whatever format, plugin.
So what you do is you explicitly import the plugins at the top of your 
program.
then you know they'll be there!
Note, all this information I shamelessly stole from
http://isotropic.org/uw/slithy/docs/py2exe.html

So here's the modified import section for your program:

import Image ## Python Image Library, For PNG support
import PngImagePlugin ## Explicitly import so it's included in EXE
import BmpImagePlugin ##read above
Image._initialized = 1## no frikin idea what this is for, doesn't seem 
to hurt.
import string

Well, there you go.
I py2exed it, and successfully read the Bill of Rights.

Ah, we all need to watch those tricky rabbits more closely ;)
Hope that helps,
and go to sleep already :)
