As Alexander writes in <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/loggerhead/+bug/390542/comments/8>

IIUC this error is a clear sign that some parts either of loggerhead or third-party library requires setuptools to work correctly. AFAIK, py2exed application (bzr.exe) can't work with setuptools and eggs properly. So this is dead end.

To me the options here seem to include:

 * don't use py2exe but rather build an installer by some other means that installs it as a regular python library
 * fix or workaround problems in other libraries integrating with bzrlib in a py2exe installation
 * something else?
