I had found a stupid mistake in my setup.py. I corrected it and the .zip now has
the string_escape.pyc file in the correct path. And also the program runs as it
should.

This gives a LookupError: no codec search function registered: can't find
encoding

I then tried with the encoding package added and the .exe did print the spam
string.
