Got it !
If you want to generate an exe for a script of your own named abc.py, 
rename it because this will never work with that original name. The 
reason seems to be an abc.pyc file compiled by default by Python 2.6 and 
included in library.zip (abc stands in this case for "Abstract Base 
Classes"), and using this name for your own script makes nothing work !
