I've been working on a little app using python 2.6 and py2exe (most recent
available 23jan2009) on windows XP. It works fine both in script and exe,
but when my friend tried out the exe on Vista this happened:
It started up, the frame and buttons was made visible without a problem.
However when he moved the mouse on to the frame, the program froze and no
error was posted in the python command line.
Is this the result of something I've done or is it a bug in py2exe,
python2.6 or wxPython2.8.9.1?

It's something to do with the way Python 2.6 is compiled now. It now uses Visual Studio 2008, so it requires extra stuff, like SxS assemblies. There have been posts about it recently (like yesterday and a few weeks ago). Check the archives, but I think the solution was to make sure you included the extra stuff that Python 2.6 requires.
In other words, it's mostly Python 2.6 which is at fault. I think there's something on the py2exe wiki or bug logs about it too...sorry I don't have any links.
