Re: [Matplotlib-users] py2exe Problems...

Hi,

I've had some fun building py2exe stuff with matplotlib too, see below
for some comments and help.

I've encountered this one before, it's to do with the pytz module and
py2exe's modulefinder. Basically pytz dynamically imports modules, so
py2exe has some difficulty with it. For my pyexe I added the following
to the includes list:

"pytz",
"pytz.zoneinfo",
"pytz.zoneinfo.UTC",
"pytz.zoneinfo.US",
"pytz.zoneinfo.US.Eastern",
"pytz.zoneinfo.US.Central",
"pytz.zoneinfo.US.Mountain",
"pytz.zoneinfo.US.Pacific",
"pytz.zoneinfo.Europe.London",
"pytz.zoneinfo.Europe.Paris",
"pytz.zoneinfo.Europe.Berlin",
"pytz.zoneinfo.Europe.Moscow",

For me this seemed to cover all the timezones I encountered.

I've never seen this one before, it might be because I'm building with
an older copy of matplotlib.

I don't use numeric so I can't comment on the includes there (I have a
half hearted attempt, but I don't think it's complete).
