running python -v sshsimpleclient.py results in the following output:

can continue with: ['publickey', 'password']

Adding a dummy function for dependency tracking solved the problem for me:

def __dependencies_for_freezing():
     import Crypto.Cipher.AES

I guess that you may have to add even more ciphers depending on
your ssh config.
