py2exe and dynamic modules

[Uwe C. Schroeder]

well, not for me

my code looks like

<in some class>
        sys.path.append('c:\\documents and settings\\ucs\\ibcache\\modules')

< in some other class>

        def loadModule(self,_pref):
            _mod=__import__(_pref)
            m=getattr(_mod,_pref)
            self._modules[_pref]=m(self,self._perspective)
        

The modules are all the same: filename == classname inside.
So file xxx.py contains a class xxx
This code works fine without py2exe
With it it fails
File "imputil.pyc", line 106, in _import_hook
ImportError: No module name wecgla

(wecgla is actually the name and _pref in the above sample has that value)
My sys.path is set correctly ('','C:\\distdirectoy','c:\\documents and
settings\\ucs\\ibcache\\modules')

so something is different to your example.

BTW: your example doesn't work either.
Can it be py2exe import can't handle spaces in filenames ???

my test is

import sys
sys.path.append('c:\\documents and settings\\ucs\\ibcache\\modules')
try:
        __import__('wecgla')
except:
        raise

print 'OK'


Compiled with py2exe using:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(name="Test",
      scripts=['imptest.py'],
      )

and on the command line

python impsetup.py py2exe


any ideas ?
this is python 2.2.1 on win2k
