on some XP systems where I am trying to deploy my app it will not run. I
ran filemon on the system and compared it with a trace from a system
where it does work.
The difference is apparently in some context because the system where it
works after _core_.pyd is loaded a bunch of wx dlls are loaded. The
other system apparently does not know where to start looking and bombs out.

does anyone have experience in solving this?

I had this issue too. I discovered that as long as I included the following dlls in the same folder as my executable, it worked:
gdiplus.dll
msvcp71.dll
MSVCR71.dll
Well, it worked most of the time. I think when I upgraded py2exe, this didn't always work. I found that some PCs don't like it when I bundled everything into one exe (bundle option = 1), so I changed the bundle option to 3 and it worked. Of course, that means there's a bunch more files, but since I create an installer with Inno Setup, it doesn't really matter to me.
