[cx-freeze-users] error / bug in cx_Freeze with Python 3.1 under Windows XP

[<dr...@we...>]

I'm using Python 3.1 under Windows XP (SP3, Version 5.1.2600). I'm trying to freeze a simple 'Hello world' example script to an .exe file but cx_Freeze always cancels with this error message: struct.error: required argument is not an integer

It's the same for all the sample scripts in C:\Python31\Lib\site-packages\cx_Freeze\samples\simple etc. Can anybody please verify that error (or bug?)? Here's my code:

program.py:

print("Hello World!")

setup.py (call with: 'C:\Python31\python.exe setup.py build'):

from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup(
name = "My Program",
description = "A simple Hello World program.",
version = "0.1",
executables = [Executable("program.py")]
)

The error:

in32-3.1\program.exe
