In some new scritps, when I compile them with py2exe, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "show_scene.py", line 5, in <module>
NameError: name 'display' is not defined


Of course, the original .py script, before Py2exe works great without
raising errors. The five first lines, until the crash are:

1· try: from visual import *
2· except IOError: pass
3·
4·
5· scene=display()


Trying to figure how to solve it, I remembered some VPython scripts I
compiled some months ago, that were functional; but when I try to run
them, I get similar errors. In this same computer, they ran perfectly
time ago. I don't remember doing any big modification in the OS
(appart from the security updates), nor touching the Python
installation (although this should work anyway).

More testing brings more weird results. Testing both old and new
scripts in another similar computer, the old one works great (as it
should), but the new one still says the same error.


Anyone has any idea on why is it happening and how to solve? Thank you
very much.

David.


P.D.: if anyone needs the complete scritps, just ask for them; I don't
have any problem in publishing them.
