HELP! py2exe error - No module named decimal

[Larry Bates]

FYI there is a separate newsgroup for py2exe at
gmane.comp.python.py2exe.  You may want to post
there also.

Just as a suggestion, put an import decimal at
the top of your program.  It looks like _mssql
might be doing dynamic imports in __load method
which will "confuse" py2exe because it can't
know about dynamic imports which happen at
runtime.
