I imagine that PythonCard reads in your .rsrc file and evals it. It
doesn't seem to be finding the file (probably because it's in your
.exe and it's not looking there.) I don't know enough about py2exe or
PythonCard to help you solve the problem, but if you look at the code
in util.py for readAndEvalFile, and go over the py2exe docs you should
be able to figure out what's wrong. I suspect you need to get it to
find the file when it opens it using the mechanism in readAndEvalFile.
Please tell me how it goes.
