[Py2exe-users] _bz2 initialization error

[Will D. <wi...@de...>]

Good morning py2exe users,

 I appear to be getting an odd issue related to bz2 (a builtin python module) that is preventing my compiled file from running. The program appears work if I don’t bundle files, but I want to have a single .exe file. Here is the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 87, in load_module
  File "<frozen zipimport>", line 241, in load_module
  File "<frozen zipimport>", line 721, in _get_module_code
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module '_bz2'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
