Re: [Py2exe-users] [python-win32] Py2exe and win32com.shell

[Tim v. d. L. <tn...@gm...>]

Hi Teja,

I ran into this problem too a while ago and found the following code on the
web after someone directed me to query Google in the right way...

---begin code---
# ModuleFinder can't handle runtime changes to __path__, but win32com uses
them

try:
    # if this doesn't work, try import modulefinder
    import py2exe.mf as modulefinder
    import win32com
    for p in win32com.__path__[1:]:
        modulefinder.AddPackagePath("win32com", p)
    for extra in ["win32com.shell"]: #,"win32com.mapi"
        __import__(extra)
        m = sys.modules[extra]
        for p in m.__path__[1:]:
            modulefinder.AddPackagePath(extra, p)
except ImportError:
    # no build path setup, no worries.
    pass

---end code---
Add that somewhere to the top of your setup.py (in mine, it is just before
importing setup from distutils.core and py2exe, but just after importing
time and sys).

Cheers and much luck with it,

--Tim
