    py2exe: zipfile=None raised ImportError

    I'm at the end of my limited experience...

    I'm using py2exe to create an executable. I'm using bundle level 1.
    When I don't use the zipfile option, the executable and library.zip get
    created and the executable works correctly.

    When I add the zipfile=None option to put everything into the exe, the
    exe doesn't work. It raises an ImportError whose traceback is:

    File "...boot_common .py" ... no module name linecache
    File "<install zipextimporter. .. no module named zipextimporter
    File "my.py" ... no module name optparse

    It looks like the imported modules are not being found in the zip, or
    something didn't get included that needed to be included.

    Does anybody know what's happening and how to fix it?

    Thanks.

      I have don't know if this helps or not, but you should better clean everything
      (remove the build and the dist subdirectories) when you are changing the options in the
      setup script and 'recompile'.

      Another tip: You can examine what is in the zipfile, or the exe (if using
      zipfile=None) when you rename the file to a *.zip file, and open it with
      winzip or another archiver.

          I clean before every compile.

          When I look at the exe as a zip I see all the modules in the error
          message: optparse.pyc, zipextimporter. pyc, and linecache.pyc.

          I don't see boot_common.py. Why is it being called?

              I see the py2exe mail list posts to this group...

              I think I have a handle on the problem: After I build the exe, I rename
              it. The renamed exe is the one that raises the error. The original exe
              works fine.
