Too clarify a bit, right now I'm digging through this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "legacy.py", line 9, in ?
 File "Realms\Myth\Client\client.pyc", line 3, in ?
 File "pyui\__init__.pyc", line 18, in ?

 File "numpy\core\umath.pyc", line 10, in __load
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_ARRAY_API'

The first 2 lines are my code, and all the pyui lines referenced do is 
"import pygame".  As a result, somewhere down the line there is an 
obscure error in numpy, which I'm not sure what to do about.  Looks like 
py2exe might be conflating Numeric and numpy?
