People want less files to distribute not more. People complain on py2exe list that it doesn't create a single .EXE file. Don't try to update the program via patching "pieces". Wrap everything in a proper installer (I use and highly recommend Inno Setup). It can handle version control, there is a plug-in for over-the-wire updates, etc. Best way I know of to automate everything.
