HELP -- py2exe failed to build app that uses scipy.plt

[eric]

Hey Phil,

I haven't ever used py2exe, so I'll be of little help.  I can't say
I'm surprised though.  The __init__ files in SciPy have some strange
importing
practices that may make it hard for py2exe to determine the needed
modules.  I don't know how hard it is to fix this sort of thing -- or
even if it is the problem.

You could try and pull plt out of scipy and use it stand alone, but
would require at least some hacking as there are some dependencies.

sorry I don't have more info.
