So how to install py2exe over pip?

Answer 1

It is missing from pypi, if you click on the 0.6.9 link it brings you to the 0.9.2.0 python 3 package, there seems to be no 0.6.9 package available to download.

Try using pip install http://sourceforge.net/projects/py2exe/files/latest/download?source=files

Answer 2

There is also a wheel of py2exe available for Python 2.x: py2exe_py2 0.6.9

You can do: pip install py2exe_py2

Pypi link.
