[Py2exe-users] Bad sys.path when run from root of Windows drive

[Patrick R. <pat...@sy...>]

Hi,

I was trying to run a py2exed program from the root directory of a CD 
on Windows. I was getting ImportErrors and that was probably because 
the sys.path was: ['D:\\\\library.zip'] Unless I'm unescaping that 
wrong (D:\\library.zip), it looks like there's an extra backslash.

I simply moved the program to a subdirectory on the CD and it now works 
fine, even when autorun.

Just mentioning this for the record.

I confirm this is a bug.

Thanks for reporting,
