PY2EXE - Strange Things a-Happenin

[Funduk]

Hello,

So I've been playing with Python and Pygame for a while and I decided
I wanted to make a real executable so I could send that stuff over to
my friends to show off my <sarcasm>maad skillz</sarcasm>.

Everything was going great I went and got all the newest software
(including Distutils and PY2EXE) and read the docs on making a setup
py.

Following is my setup.py: Sorry if It's a little long:
---------------------------------------------------------
#make standalone, needs at least pygame-1.5.3 and py2exe-0.3.1

from distutils.core import setup
import sys, os, pygame, shutil
import py2exe

#setup the project variables here.
#i can't claim these will cover all the cases
#you need, but they seem to work for all my
#projects, just change as neeeded.

script = "cards.py"	    	#name of starting .PY
icon_file = ""	    	    	#ICO file for the .EXE (not working well)
optimize = 2 	    	    	#0, 1, or 2; like -O and -OO
dos_console = 0     	    	#set to 0 for no dos shell when run
extra_data = ['readme.txt'] #extra files/dirs copied to game
extra_modules = ['pygame.locals']   #extra python modules not auto
found

#use the default pygame icon, if none given
if not icon_file:
    path = os.path.split(pygame.__file__)[0]
    icon_file = '"' + os.path.join(path, 'pygame.ico') + '"'
#unfortunately, this cool icon stuff doesn't work in current py2exe :(
#icon_file = ''


#create the proper commandline args
args = ['py2exe', '--force', '-O'+`optimize`]
args.append(dos_console and '--console' or '--windows')
if icon_file:
    args.append('--icon')
    args.append(icon_file)
args.append('--force-imports')
args.append(','.join(extra_modules))
#args.append(','.join(pygame_modules + extra_modules))
sys.argv[1:] = args + sys.argv[1:]

project_name = os.path.splitext(os.path.split(script)[1])[0]


#this will create the executable and all dependencies
setup(name=project_name, scripts=[script])

#also need to hand copy the extra files here
def installfile(name):
    dst = os.path.join('dist', project_name)
    print 'copying', name, '->', dst
    if os.path.isdir(name):
        dst = os.path.join(dst, name)
        if os.path.isdir(dst):
            shutil.rmtree(dst)
        shutil.copytree(name, dst)
    elif os.path.isfile(name):
        shutil.copy(name, dst)
    else:
        print 'Warning, %s not found' % name

pygamedir = os.path.split(pygame.base.__file__)[0]
installfile(os.path.join(pygamedir, pygame.font.get_default_font()))
installfile(os.path.join(pygamedir, 'pygame_icon.bmp'))
for data in extra_data:
    installfile(data)
---------------------------------------------------------

I got this from some 'here's how to make a setupfile site'. I started
using this one after the one I made caused me errors... Unfortunately
this one does the same.

I'm using IDLE (but I did also try this in the cmd prompt) so I got
ahead and F5 this setup file and it goes ahead and haks away for a few
seconds (on my pos pII 450). Shortly I recieve this block of
statements and errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My
Documents\Projects\Pygame Projects\Cards\pygame2exe.py", line 48, in
-toplevel-
    setup(name=project_name, scripts=[script])
  File "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\MYDOCU~1\Projects\Python\distutils\core.py",
line 101, in setup
    _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs)
  File "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\MYDOCU~1\Projects\Python\Lib\site-packages\py2exe\__init__.py",
line 75, in __init__
    distutils.dist.Distribution.__init__(self, attrs)
  File "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\MYDOCU~1\Projects\Python\distutils\dist.py",
line 130, in __init__
    setattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata, method_name))
AttributeError: DistributionMetadata instance has no attribute
'get___doc__'


I looked up the last line in google and found a few posts noting the
same difficulties and I was led to believe that it was some kind of
'mistake'...

...

needless to say I was confused. I decided I could write a pretty good
cry for help (including lots of info etc) so I am now asking you for
help.

All I want to do is make my stupid little program an executable! :)
HELP!!!

Extra Info:
Python Version:2.3.3
Pygame Version:1.6
Distutils Version:1.0.2
PY2EXE Version:0.5.0
OS: Windows 2000 Pro

Thanks in advance!!!
