[Py2exe-users] Problem with .exes after upgrade to 0.6.5 (can't find zlib)

[<Mar...@am...>]

Hi There,

We use Python 2.3.3 (still) and were on py2exe 0.5.4.  We recently built 
an application that required unicode, and 0.5.4 executables failed because 
they did not package up the encodings package properly.  So, we decided it 
was time to upgrade. ;o)  After some fairly careful testing to ensure 
0.6.5 would work, we made the upgrade to our build machine.  Unfortunately 
we noticed a massive bug in our built product that is a showstopper.

If you execute our built executables from the directory in which they 
reside, there is no problem.  Everything works fine.  However, we have a 
command prompt that sets up the PATH in Windows to our bin folder where 
the executables reside so you can execute the .exes from anywhere.  If you 
try this with the new 0.6.5-created executables, you get the following 
error on all of our executables:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\py2exe\boot_common.py", line 92, in 
?

zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "nvmd.py", line 17, in ?
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available

I have no idea why it can't find zlib, because there is a zlib.pyd in the 
same folder as the executable. 

Any ideas, before we roll everything back to 0.5.4 and rebuild our 
product?  I have a release today, so I'm a bit stressed about this...

Thanks in advance,
Mark.
