My first thought is what if the function you are using uses other functions(maybe not exported by the module/package)? For example: if some_func() makes a call to _some_weird_module_specific_func(), how are you going to make sure you get the _some_weird_module_specific_func function? This doesn't even start to work when the function you are interested in is also using functions from other modules/packages.
Besides, what py2exe is really doing is grabbing the .pyo or .pyc files and throwing them in a zip file. Is it really worth the effort to save a 100K or so, at most?
