I've used Psyco in various projects - and usually notice a 'real world' speed up of 2-3 times in the intensive functions. I've never had any sort of problem with it and it behaves well with py2exe.

See Nanagram, dataenc and filestruct for three apps/modules that benefit from the use of Psyco.
The binary interleaving done by dataenc was sped up by about 3 times.
