py2exe: zipfile=None raised ImportError

[Tim Wise]

I clean before a compile.

The exe contains all the modules (pyc) listed in the trace back message
(linecache, zipextimporter, and optparse), except boot_common.py. Should
that be in the exe?

I'm trying to build on Windows XP using Python 2.4.4 and py2exe 0.6.5

Thanks.

I have don't know if this helps or not, but you should better clean
everything
(remove the build and the dist subdirectories) when you are changing the
options in the
setup script and 'recompile'.

Another tip:  You can examine what is in the zipfile, or the exe (if
using
zipfile=None) when you rename the file to a *.zip file, and open it with
winzip or another archiver.
