[python-win32] py2exe problem with ActiveX control

[Kerry Oliphant]

I have a number of ActiveX controls that I am using in my program.  I have
been trying to use py2exe to package everything together and I keep getting
the error that "'DispatchBaseClass' is not defined" in the makepy generated
file for one of the activeX controls.  Does anyone have a clue here?


This is my error report:
