Think this bit of information can actually be found on the py2exe FAQ for
versions of python 2.6 and higher up, and it comes down to some of the
following to be included in the setup.py code file.
In the setup.py file,you assign/define the following variable higher up:
dll_excludes = ['libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll', 'libgobject-2.0-0.dll',
'tcl84.dll', 'tk84.dll', 'MSVCP90.dll', 'mswsock.dll', 'powrprof.dll']
and, then include a reference to it in the py2exe options dict:
options = {
"bundle_files": 1,
"ascii": 1, # to make a smaller executable, don't include the encodings
"compressed": 1, # compress the library archive
"dll_excludes": dll_excludes,
}
and it now lets me build the executable .exe etc, and that MSVCP90.dll file
is still being copied to redist folder, etc., but main thing is build
process now works, etc., so will now need/want to carry on trying
out/testing things like wxPython and Q's wrapper for it etc. <smile>
Stay well
