When you package your app with py2exe there are some things which might 
not work quit the same way then when you run it from a python shell or 
the ide you use.

E.g. if you load a file and expect the path to it to be the same then on 
your development machine it might not be there and I am sure there are 
many more examples.

You are not giving enough information for anyone to help you find out 
what is the cause of the problem.

You need to show at least the line 27 of your pwcb.py script, but better 
whould be the whole method and/or the code which calls the method.
