py2exe doesn't copy imported module to .exe

[Alexander Skwar]

Hi!

I'm trying to use py2exe to distribute an application of mine.  I've
written the following setup.py script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from distutils.core import setup
from glob import glob
import py2exe
import os
import os.path
opj = os.path.join
from __version__ import *
from shutil import copyfile

def main():
	data_files = [
		('Images',
			['Images\\X_Transparent.gif',
			 'Images\\X_swoosh_logo.ico',
			 'Images\\X_swoosh_logo_32x32x16.ico',
			 'Images\\X_swoosh_logo.jpg',
			 'Images\\X_swoosh_logo_32x32x16.ico.xpm',
			 'Images\\X_Transparent.xpm']),
		('locale\\de\\LC_MESSAGES',
			['locale\\de\\LC_MESSAGES\\xhc.mo'])
	]

	setup(
		name		= 'xhc',
		version		= '1.0',
		scripts     	= ['xhc.py'],
		description	= 'X-Host Chooser',
		author		= 'Alexander Skwar',
		author_email	= 'askwar at email-server.info',
		data_files	= data_files
	)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    if not os.name in ('nt', 'dos'):
        print "Error: setup.py can only be run in Windows or DOS!\n"
        sys.exit(1)

    main()



When I run the "compiled" version made by py2exe, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 6, in ?
  File "imputil.pyo", line 132, in _import_hook
  File "<string>", line 101, in _finish_import
  File "imputil.pyo", line 337, in _import_fromlist
ImportError: cannot import name XHCFrames.fHaupt


That's because my main script (xhc.py) imports a module 'fHaupt' from the
package 'XHCFrames' with "from XHCFrames import *" and uses it later on
with "self.main = fHaupt.create(None)".

The directory XHCFrames contains this __init__.py file:

# Package initialisation

__all__ = ['fHaupt']

The directory XHCFrames is directly underneath the directory containing
'xhc.py' - IOW: it's not in the system path.


I can run the xhc.py script just fine - the "compiled" xhc.exe dies with
the error message I've mentioned above.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot,
