Hi Jef,

I'm using py2exe rather than cx_Freeze, but I had similar traceback when 
trying to run my application frozen.

The only way I could get PyOpenGL working when frozen with py2exe is to 
exclude the OpenGL module from the automatic dependency finder, and then 
copy over the entire contents of the OpenGL directory during the 
setup.py py2exe process.

For more info, see: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/PyOpenGL
