This error is caused by a py2exe application; such applications are 
unable to generate .py files from COM typelibs, but they are capable of 
generating them at build time and distributing them with the app.  You 
should ask whoever put the application together to read the py2exe docs 
to learn how to embed the generated files for ITunes directly inside the 
app.
