Well, this is partially your fault, but you could also call it a bug in the
more recent versions of easygui.  They get the version number by calling
split on the module's __doc__ string.  You are selecting maximum
optimization in your py2exe script, which strips out all of the doc
strings.  So, the split fails.

You have two choices.  One, you can change easygui.py to assing the version
number string directly, instead of using __doc__.split.  Two, you can
reduce your optimization level from 2 to 1.
