Py2exe - win32api.pyc ImportError DLL load failed

Question

I am trying to use py2exe to distribute a python application I have written. Everything seems to go OK, but when I run it on another machine it fails with the following err

Answer 1

Try adding win32api to your packages, in the options dictionary.

Here's an example:

excludes = ["pywin", "pywin.debugger"] # there will be more in real life...
options = dict(optimize=2,
           dist_dir="build",
           excludes=excludes,
           packages=["win32api"]) 
setup(
    name="MyCoolApp",
    options=dict(py2exe=options),
    # etc ...
