If I simply unzip library.zip, I then get a different error:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "surfedit.py", line 2, in ?
  ImportError: Bad magic number in c:\Program Files\RivaTek\VFC-SurfaceEditor\tempfile.pyc

I'm a bit baffled.  

The application works fine if I run it using "python
progname.py".  Why is py2exe producing .pyc files with bad
magic numbers?
