Are you compiling to exe with the Pyc compiler? If so you will also need 
to compile the standard library modules that you use (*instead* of 
adding them to the path).

Another technique is to have your own version of the standard library 
(or just the parts you use) in a directory in the same folder as your 
exe - and add *this* directory to the path instead.
