[Matplotlib-users] freezing a matplotlib program using py2exe

[Matt F. <mfi...@us...>]

Hello,
 
I'm trying to convert my python program that uses matplotlib to an exe
using py2exe and I'm having a problem. 
Running
>python setup.py py2exe
works fine and creates files in the /dist path. However, when I run the
.exe I get a runtime error (see below)
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
