what to do

The Error is within

   1 zipfile = r"lib\shardlib"

it has to be

   1 zipfile = r"lib\shardlib.zip"

additional information

I stumbled upon while trying to include win32com.client - that module was not able to find gen_py/__init__.py

20040112 HAM

the cause

This problem is a limitation of the current win32all (build 163, currently).

Py2Exe itself does not require that the zipfile has a .zip extension (and this can be useful to obscure the contents of this file).

I've sent Mark Hammond a patch

Py2Exe itself does not require that the zipfile has a {{{.zip}}} extension (and this can be useful to obscure the contents of this file).
