Yes, that is.
However, the only way i found and it was a suggestion from the py2exe
mailing list,
is the use of "options = { "py2exe": {"compressed": 2}}" in my setup.py.
That does not include the dll, PyQt libraries and python runtime in the
executable file, giving a chance to install there libraries separately.

My experience has been that if it is a gui-based PyQt program, you need to package \
the python runtime (python2x.dll), the python PyQt libraries (Qt.pyd, QtCore.pyd, \
QtGui.pyd) and the Qt dll's (QtCore4.dll, QtGui4.dll). You may also need to \
distribute the C-runtime library (mingwm10.dll or msvcrXX.dll) depending on how your \
application was setup. All of these need to be included because you can't \
assume the end user will have them on their system.<br>

Even with your small widget developed in C++ you still need to distribute the Qt \
dll's since these are not standard windows libraries.<br> <br>
My conclusion: it's not possible to make your apps have super small download size \
with Qt and PyQt.<br> <br>
