C:\Python22>python setup.py py2exe --icon EXE icon
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 7, in ?
    scripts = ["wxApp1.py"],
  File "C:\Python22\distutils\core.py", line 101, in setup
    _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs)
  File "C:\Python22\distutils\dist.py", line 130, in __init__
    setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata, method_name))
AttributeError: DistributionMetadata instance has no attribute
'get___doc__'

This is the error message I'm getting when I try to run
This is my setup script:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(name = 'Notebook',
      version = '0.1',
      description = 'Simple Text Editor',
      author = 'Ray Sleeper',
      author_email = 'sunking77 at hotmail.com',
      url = ' ',
      scripts = ["wxApp1.py"],
I'm using Python2.2 and Boa0.2.3 if that helps
Why am I getting this error message?
