py2exe problem

[Aaron Held]

py2exe needs to find all of the modules associated w/ your application 
and bundle them in the new package.  That error means that it missed the 
module staic box.

you need to help py2exe find the files you need.

It may also be that staticbox is created on the fly from a resource 
file. Looking at the pythoncard example
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pythoncard/PythonCardPrototype/samples/minimalStandalone/setup.py?rev=1.1&view=auto
you may need to add something like

 data_files = [ (".", ["readme.txt", "minimal.rsrc.py"]) ]
to your setup.py.

I don't use pythoncard, but this may help.
