New error trying to compile pygame to exe

Question

I have created a small game for my little boy using Python 3.4 and Pygame in Windows 7. It also works in Python 2.X, with some minor bugs. Then I tried to create an .exe file using py2exe. I prepared a setup.py file copying the source I found at pygame2exe wiki (http://www.pygame.org/wiki/Pygame2exe?parent=CookBook) also trying to use the suggestions I found in other questions here and in python-forum. What I obtained was the following error:

C:\Python34>python setup.py install

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "setup.py", line 5, in
origIsSystemDLL = py2exe.build_exe.isSystemDLL # save the orginal before we edit it
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'build_exe'

I have read all other posts on stackoverflow on pygame and exe but I haven’t found anything on this type of error on the web, is there anybody that can help me?

PS for those who prefer cx_freeze, I have tried it too, finding different problems and I will prepare soon another question on it

To give you more details, I am adding this new lines:

if I use the standard setup.py file instead, I have a dist directory with an .exe, but if I launch it I get an error window and in the log I find:
Traceback (most recent call last):
```
File "C:\Python34\lib	okenize.py", 

line 369, in find_cookie

line_string = line.decode('utf-8')
```
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x90 in position 2: invalid start byte

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: etc....

And the first lines in the cmd are about 16 missing modules

if I try to use Python 2.6 instead of 3.4 I otain a Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error with the pygame2exe version, and a similar comment in the log if I use the 'short' py2exe version (Traceback (most recent call last): File "Nomi_Animali_1.1p.py", line 100, in basicFont = pygame.font.SysFont("FreeSansBold.ttf", 72) File "pygame__init__.pyc", line 70, in getattr NotImplementedError: font module not available (ImportError: DLL load failed: Impossibile trovare il modulo specificato.))

I have tried in all cases to use as font: None, "Arial", "FreeSansBold.ttf"
