Py2Exe Problem - warning: strop functions are obsolete; use string methods

[Steve Greiner]

I can't figure out something (I admit, I'm a little dense) that
doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone else, so I'm assuming I'm
doing something wrong.  I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to
point me to the obvious.

I'm trying to make a stand-alone executable, which seems build just
fine.  But, when I run it, I get a constant stream of:

warning: strop functions are obsolete; use string methods
warning: strop functions are obsolete; use string methods
warning: strop functions are obsolete; use string methods
.
.
.

until I hit <Ctrl>-<Break>.  So, I tried a (very) small sample program
that also fails whenever I import other modules.  If I comment out the
import sys line, it runs fine.  Here's to code and output:

#hello.py
import sys

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print "Hello"
    raw_input('Press <Enter> to continue...')

# end of hello.py

# setup.py

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(name = 'hello', version = '0.0.1', scripts =
['c:\\python22\\slgwork\\hello.py'])

# end of setup.py

Output from: python setup.py py2exe

I've grabbed the latest version of Python and Py2Exe this week, but
perhaps I've got my configuration screwed up, nonetheless.

Thanks for any help.
