What steps will reproduce the problem?

I generated a executable using py2exe on a windows machine. However, the generated executable fails to execute with the error indicated below.

D:\ScannerTool\dist>SerialTool.exe Traceback (most recent call last): File "SerialTool.py", line 2, in <module> File "pyodbc.pyc", line 12, in <module> File "pyodbc.pyc", line 10, in __load RuntimeError: Unable to import decimal

I am running on Windows XP SP3 32 Bit.

I read on the link http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/PyODBC that by including an additional option, i can get around this error but despite having generated the executable with this option, the error persists.

Appreciate your help on this.

Here is my setup.py for reference.

from distutils.core import setup import py2exe , sys from glob import glob sys.path.append('C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.6195_x-ww_44262b86')

setup(options = {"py2exe": { "dll_excludes": ["OCI.dll"],"includes": "decimal"}},)

setup(options = {"py2exe": {"includes": "decimal"}},) setup(console=['SerialTool.py'])

Just solved this. Besides putting an option in the setup.py file, I should also include an import of decimal module in my SerialTool.py script.

I could not find a way to close this issue.

The option simply needs to be added to same call to setup, eg:

setup( console=['setup.py'], options={"py2exe": {"includes": "decimal"}} )
