[Py2exe-users] A hello world example that does not work (PyQt4)

[Karl E. <kt...@gm...>]

This simple example does not work and I am quite confused as to why.
-------------
setup.py:
-------------

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
from glob import glob
data_files = [("Microsoft.VC90.CRT",
glob(r'c:\dev\ms-visualc-runtime\*.*'))]
setup(data_files=data_files,
      windows=['hello.py'])

-------------
hello.py:
-------------
# Uncomment any one or all of the PyQt4
# lines and py2exe gets very confused.
# Comment them out again and all is well.
from PyQt4 import QtCore
#from PyQt4 import QtGui
#from PyQt4 import QtSvg
print "Hello World!"


The output from py2exe on failure:

C:\Documents and Settings\Karl\Desktop\BloodySimple>python setup.py py2exe
running py2exe

*** finding dlls needed ***
error: MSVCP90.dll: No such file or directory

--------------------------
I would love any insight into how to debug this problem and how it might be
possible that the dll is found (I assume it is found because everything
works fine and the hello.exe file is produced) in the regular hello world
example but not when I import PyQt4.
