I've googled on this but never found anything definitive. It'd be good
if someone figured out what's happening as it's a fairly nasty error,
but it's just easier to remember to stick that package in the packages

I hope this works as it makes life a lot easier all round. If it
doesn't I'd definitely suspect a bug in py2exe.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that wiki comment completely.

I'll test the changed code this afternoon, thanks.
