Re: [Py2exe-users] Re: py2exe 0.5.4 and Python 2.4 "zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module 'linecache'"

[Eric W. <ea...@co...>]

Thank you Thomas! I ran the samples, which worked fine, and that
helped me find out what was wrong.

The problem was that I never removed the "build" directory after doing
a build with python23. All the byte-compiling for the python24 build
then ends up getting skipped but the .pyc files are for the wrong
version (hence their failure to load). Just removing the build
directory fixed it.

Thanks kindly,
Eric
