Do you mean Python optimization? This is unrelated to py2exe:

$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Aug 10 2007, 06:08:23)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> assert 1==0
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "", line 1, in 
AssertionError
 >>>
$ python -O
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Aug 10 2007, 06:08:23)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> assert 1==0
 >>>
$

I wasn't concerned with using optimization until I encountered this.
I've used it a lot for some Windows apps and never had a problem
before. Usually problems that pop up are related to modules that like
to assume that they live in Lib/site-packages on disk and try
accessing those directories.
