what i do is as soon as the update is complete i close the app, but it 
still gives the error, i tried clear() after update and before it, it 
still got the same error. it's be nice to not have to fiddle around with 
the zip file, i really think making py2exe create a dir instead of a zip 
will be much better
here what i do anyway

if (os.name == 'nt') or (os.name == 'win32'):
           
            client = pysvn.Client()
            #get current revision number
            CurrentRev = client.info('').revision.number
           
            Check = client.update('')
            sys.path_importer_cache.clear()
           
            if Check.number > CurrentRev:
                self.Popup('Update installed, click ok and restart 
','Update installed')
                self.Destroy()
   
        else:
            InfoMsg.Update(3,'No Updates needed')
