Finaly, i try it with your little example, and it work, i can make one
.exe with py2exe. Not so big : 800ko (maybe we can write it on the FAQ
?)

It want to include tk, i don't know why, but i can remove it
after... It's enough to me to know that it's possible.

thanks again, it's up to me now to study more twisted.
