[python-win32] Recurring DLL error with py2exe

[Jacob Kruger]

Thanks, Werner

Adding the reference to the dll_excludes to the options dict made the
py2exe setup.py now run fine.

Stay well

compilation processing of the external module or something, but, maybe if I
just need to tell it to exclude those files from a specific spot in the
setup.py file that could sort it out?
