It's a warning, not an error, so you don't truly need to fix it. You
can safely ignore it.
Apparently your version of py2exe was written for a Python version
before sets became a built-in type and thus importing the `sets`
module was required in order to use them.
Since sets are now built-in, the `sets` module is being phased out,
hence the warning; nothing is erroneous with the `sets` module, you're
just being told the py2exe code is using it and that it's being
deprecated. The py2exe code will /eventually/ need to be changed when
it's ported to a version of Python that completely removes the `sets`
module (e.g. 3.x), but it's nothing you personally need to worry
about.
