This line doesn't do anything useful.  And I would start by eliminating
the exec() call.

Since nothing ever modifies loop, you should just make it

Please post the actual code you're running, as well as the Python
version.  Also, explain how you decided that it grows by 30kb each loop.

You also should try the same code without py2exe;  see if it runs any
differently.

The two errors I show are from Python 2.7. Naturally, if you post an
error, you should give the full traceback.
