py2exe

Immediately after sending my first post on this I realized that the 
script I'm trying to make into an exe imports ctypes.

Is there anything special I need to add to the setup script because of 
ctypes?

Thanks.

I guess that you redirect on your wx.App?

app = wx.App(False)  # Create a new app, don't redirect stdout/stderr to 
a window.

I use wx.lib.iewin which in turn uses ctypes and I don't have anything 
special in my setup.py for it.

That depends how you're importing ctypes.  The module finder code fails
when you don't import something at the top level (i.e. inside a
conditional or a function), so you either need to move the import or add
ctypes to the list of special modules (I forget what code that is).

Right (I didn't even think to look at how I'm creating the app...argghh)

What's happening is the xrc resources aren't getting loaded. I used 
xrced to create the gui.

Can anyone give me any ideas about what I need to do to create a setup 
script for py2exe that will allow my application to use xrc files 
created with XRCed once it's compiled?

Never used XRC, also I am tempted by the concept.

What about this?

My bad - when you use XRCed your GUI is defined in the data file 
<name>.xrc. So this file needs to be copied over with everything else, 
and this is the  part I missed. Sorry for the confusion.
