py2exe on wxPython

using py2exe 0.5 and wxPython 2.5.1.5u with python 2.3.3 I got a 10Mb dist directory (zipped down to a 3Mb archive)

the script used:

import wx
app = wx.App()
frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, "Some Frame")
frame.Show(1)
app.MainLoop()

is there a way to reduce the size of the binary distribution for simple wxPython scripts?

You can try to pass the images that py2exe collects through upx, but if
you zip the directory anyway it may not make a huge difference. And upx
has other disadvantages as well IIRC.
