Problems in py2exe 0.6.6 that should be fixed:

• - When a single file executable is renamed, it does not work any longer. This is because the filename is hardcoded into the exe (to determine sys.path from it). You will get a traceback like this, because even the imports in the boot_script fail:

  C:\sample\dist>sample
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "c:\python23\lib\site-packages\py2exe\boot_common.py", line 69, in ?
      import linecache
  ImportError: No module named linecache
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<install zipextimporter>", line 1, in ?
  ImportError: No module named zipextimporter
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "console.py", line 1, in ?
  ImportError: No module named os
  
  C:\sample\dist>

  - Error reporting in MemoryLoadLibrary must be improved. When MemoryLoadLibrary fails because it cannot find a required DLL (for example), it is impossible to diagnose the problem. This is from a post to the py2exe-users mailing list:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "Wk2000.py", line 3, in ?
    File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module
    File "wx\__init__.pyo", line 45, in ?
    File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 82, in load_module
    File "wx\_core.pyo", line 4, in ?
    File "zipextimporter.pyo", line 98, in load_module
  ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading wx\_core_.pyd
