win32 pyserial requires javax.comm for py2exe?

[Grant Edwards]

I'm trying to package a small Python program using py2exe.

Everything works fine until I add an "include serial", then 
py2exe fails because

  The following modules appear to be missing
  ['javax.comm']

Apparently serial.py imports a both the posix and java versions
of things even on a win32 platform?



------------------------------setup.py------------------------------
# setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=["testit.py"])
--------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------testit.py------------------------------
import serial
print "hello"
---------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------python setup.py py2exe-------------------------
