[Distutils] py2exe makes pygame.sysFont crash

[Keith Nemitz]

I have a small game that runs fine on Windows XP with
just the interpreter, but after using py2exe to create
an executable, the new exe crashes with this error
message:

------------------------
Pygame Parachute Traceback:
  File "pygame\sysfont.pyc", line 253, in SysFont
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation
Fault

This application has requested the Runtime to
terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more
information.
----------------------------------------------

I'm using python 2.3 and pygame 1.6. I assume that I
need to explicitly add a library, but I'm not sure
what or how. I hope someone might be able to assist
me. Here is the py2exe code:

----------------------------------------------

import time
import sys

# ModuleFinder can't handle runtime changes to
__path__, but win32com uses them

try:
    import modulefinder
    import win32com
    for p in win32com.__path__[1:]:
        modulefinder.AddPackagePath("win32com", p)
    for extra in ["win32com.shell"]: #,"win32com.mapi"
        __import__(extra)
        m = sys.modules[extra]
        for p in m.__path__[1:]:
            modulefinder.AddPackagePath(extra, p)
except ImportError:
    # no build path setup, no worries.
    raise RuntimeError("no can load win32com?")
    pass


from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

setup(
    # The first three parameters are not required, if
at least a
    # 'version' is given, then a versioninfo resource
is built from
    # them and added to the executables.
    version = "0.2.01",
    description = "py2exe script",
    name = "The Witch's Yarn",

    # targets to build
    console = ["main.py"],
    #windows = ["main.py"],
    )
