Re: [Py2exe-users] .exe file working on my computer but not other computers

Hi Kloth,

I think I understand what you mean. Could you please specify where should I add 

>if 0:
> import datetime

There are three options:
1. setup.py file
2. mainscript.py file (I have just one file)
3. somewhere else (in some .py file in library)

Also, where exactly in the file. In the beginning of the imports or somewhere else?

multiarray.py is a stub file generated by py2exe for loading
multiarray.pyd.  It will not be found in the normal Python module
locations.

Actually, in this case it is a module that is imported *by* multiarray
that is missing.

As I alluded to above, the multiarray module does imports in C which
py2exe cannot discover.  The missing import is 'datetime'  from the
Python standard library.

The "trick" used for adding missing modules to py2exe-generated
executables is to add an:

if 0:
  import missing_module_1
  import missing_module_2

to the main executable that is scanned by the py2exe setup.py.  For
you, it should be sufficient to add "import datetime" to the forced
import block:

if 0:
  import datetime

and regenerate the executable.
