Maybe you could use the data_files option to setup():

import glob
setup(name='MyApp',
      # other options,
      data_files=[('.', glob.glob('*.dll')),
                  ('.', glob.glob('*.pyd'))],
     )

data_files should be a list of tuples, where each tuple contains:

1. The target directory.
2. A list of files to copy.

This won't put the files into library.zip, which shouldn't be a problem for dlls, but I don't know about pyd files.
